One morning, a young boy washed up on the shores of Virginia. That boy would grow up to be a 6 foot 8 inch giant, whose prowess on the battlefield, where he wielded a broadsword, would grow to become the stuff of legend. So...was this Portuguese refugee a man...or a myth?

In the summer of 1782, a woman disguised herself as a man in order to join the Continental Army. Her journey was tumultuous. Her service was remarkable. The lengths she was willing to go to conceal her secret...were unfathomable.

In September of 1777, a man widely thought to be the best shot in the British Army hid in the woods with his rifle aimed and ready to fire on a nearby target. But instead of firing, he lowered his weapon. That target was George Washington. What made this man pass up the shot? And how did that fateful decision change both of their lives and perhaps the entire course of history? MUSIC "Wounds" "Two Steps Away" "No Need Sleep" "Within the Wheel" By Ketsa...

To understand George Washington, the man who invented the Presidency and guided our nation through its infancy, it's imperative to study his early years. The events that transpired in his early life, giving him the tools to one day lead a nation, were a mix of hardship, tragedy, opportunity, and violence.

Though it's hard to imagine now, George Washington spent most of the war as an underdog. It wasn't until 1781, with the help of French allies, that his fortunes began to change. Listen to learn just how far he fell before he was able to finally taste victory.

George Washington became America's first President in April of 1789. From that day on, every decision he made, from minor things like what to wear and how to be addressed, to fatal decisions on slavery and war, broke new ground. His actions in that first term would set the precedent that every leader from then on would follow and build upon.

In the fall of 1776, Benedict Arnold would prove himself to be one of the most fearless soldiers in the entire Continental Army. He made so many, as Horatio Gates put it, "hairbreadth escapes," that it almost seemed as if he were destined for greatness. That year, there was hardly a whiff of the unthinkable treachery he would unleash on his fellow countrymen.

After decades of public service, George Washington finally got to retire to his estate on Mount Vernon as he had always dreamed. However, he wasn't there long before a sudden illness took his life. Washington's death was a major blow to the newly-formed United States. But his loss wasn't just felt at home - it reverberated around the globe - as the whole world mourned America's fallen leader.

Among the unsung heroes of the American Revolution are a group of regular citizens who were recruited to establish a complicated spy network called The Culper Ring. One of those spies was a woman who lived in the heart of enemy territory: Anna Strong.
