About the Book
A title in the series New Yorkers and the Revolution
During the War of Independence, citizens such as Marinus Willett (1740 – 1830) truly risked their “lives, fortunes and sacred honor” to establish the republic in which they fervently believed. Willett’s bravery and unflinching dedication to the cause of liberty made him a hero at Fort Stanwix in 1777 and saved the Northern Frontier for the patriot cause in 1781. He was a superb warrior, but the contradictions in his complex personality probably kept him from converting his military reputation to a successful career in New York’s tangled politics.
