October 22 – The Life and Times of Baron von Steuben
Friedrich von Steuben's contributions instilled new measures of duty and professionalism in the American army. But who was he really? Where did he come from? Was he really a fraud, as some people say? Let's unpack von Steuben's life to find out what brought him here and allowed him to play such a large role in American history.
