Casimir Pulaski
A member of the Polish landed nobility, Pulaski was a military commander for the Bar Confederation and fought against Russian domination of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth. When this uprising failed, he emigrated to North America as a soldier of fortune. During the American Revolutionary War, he saved the life of George Washington[4] and became a general in the Continental Army. He died of wounds suffered in the Battle of Savannah. Pulaski is one of only seven people to be awarded honorary United States citizenship.
Over break I had the opportunity to see Fort Pulaski. This spot was important in the Revolutionary and the Civil War. It is outside of Savannah. When in this place it is easy to see why it is considered the most haunted city in the country.
