Manage episode 389303799 series 3006693
When we talk about Rochambeau’s French army marching across CT on its way to Virginia during the Revolutionary War, have you ever stopped to think what that was really like – the complexities, the logistics, the massive coordination, the hurdles to overcome? The movement of 5,000 men, 4,000 animals, and tons of food, ammunition, and supplies on wagons on muddy dirt paths and across rivers was an incredible undertaking. We’ll hear the inside scoop from the chief consultant to the National Parks Service for the Rochambeau Trail, Dr. Robert Selig.
