This grew out of my Down Da Road I Go Blog which now has become primarily what I'm doing and music. I was getting so much history in it, I spun this one off and now have World War II and War of 1812 blogs which came off this one. The Blog List below right has all the way too many blogs that I write.

How About a Kosciuszko Day?-- Part 1: Another Polish Fighter in the American Revolution
From the March 4, 2018, Chicago Tribune "Kosciuszko hard to say, but just as heroic as Pulaski" by Mary Wisniewski.
Monday, March 5 was Pulaski Day to honor hero of the American Revolution, Casimir Pulaski, father of American cavalry and who gave his life in the cause of freedom. He is honored with his day and here in Chicago with Pulaski Road.
Chicago was once the home of the largest Polish population outside of Warsaw. There is still a lot of them living along Milwaukee Avenue in one area of Chicago. Polish immigrants have contributed greatly to the United States.
