Casimir Pulaski (1745-1779), a Polish nobleman and soldier and commander, was recruited for the American Revolution, where he became a brigadier general in the Continental Army. Known as a “Soldier of Liberty,” he made his mark as a cavalry officer and came to be known as "The Father of American Cavalry." Pulaski was mortally wounded in battle at Savannah, Georgia.
