Episode 249

War is usually the domain of the young — quick feet, steady aim, and lungs strong enough for shouting charges. But in the spring of 1775, on a quiet road outside Boston, history pauses for someone else.
He is nearly eighty. A farmer. A grandfather. A man who has already lived the life most people hope to reach in peace.
Yet when soldiers enter his town, he does not flee.
His name is Samuel Whittemore — and in the space of a few violent minutes, he will perform an act so defiant that even his enemies will struggle to believe what they have seen.
This is not a tale of armies.
It is the story of a single man who refuses to step aside when history arrives at his door.
