John Stark: Maverick General

A brilliant battlefield commander from New Hampshire played a decisive role in the turning the tide of the Revolutionary War. John Stark was staunchly independent and deeply suspicious of authority. He was a maverick, who led the New England militia in unconventional combait in the battles of Bunker Hill and Bennington. Stark's detailed knowledge of British military methods enabled his soldiers to prevail in those key battles--ultimately leading to America's independence.
