General Casimir Pulaski, born in Poland in 1748, led an unsuccessful revolt of Polish patriots against Russia before coming to America to serve the defense of freedom. After joining General George Washington's army, he distinguished himself at the Battle of Brandywine, and Congress appointed him a Brigadier General. He organized the independent Corps of Cavalry and Infantry, known as the Pulaski Legion. Wounded at the siege of Savannah on October 9, 1779, he died on October 11, 1779.
