Small but Mighty: Connecticut’s Revolution
A mini-series of Under the Charter Oak
A podcast of the CT State Library Division of Library Development
The 2nd Regiment of Light Dragoons was made up of hundreds of brave soldiers, one of which was Private Joseph Robins, an Indigenous man who may have belonged to the Nipmuc, Pequot,
Mohegan, or Narragansett nations. While we don't know why he enlisted in the military, we're able to follow a bit of his journey through his wife Elizabeth Robins. What we do know is that he was chosen by George Washington as one of 20 soldiers to receive
Cornwallis’ surrender at Yorktown!
Learn about the 2nd Regiment of Light Dragoons and Private Joseph Robins on this week's episode of Small but Mighty: Connecticut's Revolution.
