The Last Man To Die in the American Revolution by Harlow Giles Unger Book PDF Summary
John Laurens should not have died. He was too young...there was no need for him to die. The war had ended a year earlier; most enemy troops had withdrawn; peace talks were about to start in a month! George Washington loved him as a son; Hamilton and Lafayette loved him as a brother. His troops loved him as a daring, caring commanding officer. "He had not a fault that I ever could discover," Washington wrote about him. Just two months and a day short of 28, he had already changed the course of American and world history, ensuring the beginning of the end of one great empire and the end of the beginning of another. Blessed with the makings of a future president of the United States, he fell from his horse in an ambush by renegade British troops...shot three times...the last man to die in the American Revolution.
