Uncle Rick Reads General Israel Putnam audio download

 No part of America’s history is more exciting than the turbulent years of the Revolutionary War.  And no man of the time saw more of danger and adventure than a Connecticut farmer who joined the patriot army and rose to fame as General Israel Putnam.  It was Putnam who, in his farmer days crawled into a cave at midnight to hunt a fierce wolf that had been slaughtering helpless sheep throughout the county.  It was Putnam again who fought a raging fire in an Army fort that would otherwise have ignited tons of stored gunpowder and blown the fort and every man in it, to pieces.  It was Putnam who fought the oppressors at Bunker Hill and a hundred other bloody battlefields.
