PULASKI: The Exile Who Saved Washington’s Army and Fought for Two Revolutions

250 years ago, Casimir Pulaski arrived in America with no rank, no command, and no country to return to.Exiled from the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth after leading a failed uprising against Russian domination, he crossed the Atlantic carrying little more than experience, reputation, and an unbroken belief in liberty. Within months, he would ride onto the battlefield at Brandywine, recognize a deadly British maneuver before others did, and act decisively in a moment that helped preserve the Continental Army.In a war still finding its form, Pulaski brought something rare—discipline, mobility, and a vision for cavalry that would reshape how the army fought.
