About this episode

The episode discusses the significant role of Thomas Paine in American independence with guest George Ford Smith.

We’ve all heard of Thomas Paine and think of him as instrumental in the founding of this country, but did you know he may well have been the most critical man alive at the time in fostering and shaping American independence? And what did he get for his efforts and fortitude? Listen and learn as George Ford Smith adds something of real value on the one and only semiquincentennial of our once great country.
