Subject Thadeus Kosciuszko:
Andrzej Tadeusz Bonawentura Kościuszko was a Polish military engineer, statesman, and military leader who became a national hero in Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, France and the United States fighting in the Revolutionary war as a colonel in the Continental Army. He was an accomplished military architect, and designed and oversaw the construction of state-of-the-art fortifications, including those at West Point, New York. A close friend of Thomas Jefferson, with whom he shared ideals of human rights, Kościuszko wrote a will in 1798, dedicating his U.S. assets to the education and freedom of the U.S. slaves. less
