Patriot Stranger • A Story of a Revolution

Patriot Stranger • A Story of a Revolution

by Thomas F. Rogers and Donald K. Jarvis

(based on Yurii Ustin’s “Labyrinths of Freedom: a Novel” as translated and edited by Donald K. Jarvis)

The story of Tadeusz Kosciuszko, and his role in America’s Revolutionary War.

Tadeusz Kosciuszko is a Polish hero of the American Revolution. The drama is closely based on Kosciuszko’s life from his youth through the end of the American War of Independence and his departure for Poland. It contrasts the idealism, expertise, and crucial military service of the penniless foreigner Kosciuszko with the pride and venality of the wealthy businessman Benedict Arnold, who betrayed his country for personal profit. In the end, at a grand general assembly of Congress, George Washington praises Kosciuszko, awards him the rank of brigadier general, and as a mark of personal affection gives him his own ring of the Society of Cincinnatus along with a ceremonial sword.
