Peter Conover Hains was born before the Civil War and still wore a U.S. Army uniform in World War I. He fired one of the Civil War’s first naval shots, built ports and canals, and returned to active duty at age 77. His legacy spans over half a century of American warfare — and four generations of service. This Memorial Day, we’re telling the story of the soldier who bridged two centuries. In this episode, we talk about his incredible career and then chat with Comedian and Educator, Joe Janes.
