SUMMARY:Discovering History with Ryan Cole
DESCRIPTION:Rise and Fall of a Revolutionary Hero: The Tragic Life of Light
 -Horse Harry Lee\n\nIf you think the Founding Fathers were all boring old 
 men in powdered wigs\, you haven’t met Henry Lee III—better known to h
 istory as "Light-Horse Harry" Lee. While today he is best remembered as th
 e father of Confederate General Robert E. Lee\, Light-Horse Harry was once
  a powerhouse in his own right. He was a daring cavalry hero of the Revolu
 tionary War\, a protégé of George Washington\, a close ally of Alexander
  Hamilton\, and a bitter nemesis to Thomas Jefferson. As a fearless soldie
 r\, he helped America win its freedom\; as a politician\, he helped shape 
 its brand-new government. Born into one of Virginia’s most elite familie
 s\, the brilliant and talented Lee seemed destined for permanent greatness
 . Instead\, a series of disastrous financial decisions bankrupted his fami
 ly\, landed him in a debtor's prison\, and forced him to spend his final y
 ears wandering the Caribbean in lonely exile. Join author Ryan Cole as he 
 brings to life the tragic\, compelling\, and deeply important story of a f
 orgotten American icon.\n\nRyan L. Cole is the author of The Last Adieu: L
 afayette’s Triumphant Return\, the Echoes of Revolution\, and the Gratit
 ude of the Republic and Light-Horse Harry Lee: Rise and Fall of a Revoluti
 onary Hero. His writing has appeared in The New York Times and The Wall St
 reet Journal\, his presentations have been featured on C-SPAN\, and he has
  spoken at historic venues including George Washington’s Mount Vernon an
 d the Library of Congress.\n\nThis event is sponsored by the Washington Co
 unty Library\, is FREE and open to the public\, and will be livestreamed/r
 ecorded on our YouTube Channel @CampusMartiusMuseum
