This weekend, the United States will celebrate its 250th birthday, a momentous occasion that has been anticipated across the land going back to the beginning of the new year. The country is awash in patriotism in many ways, from city streets lined with red, white, and blue decorations to advertisements honoring the milestone, and even a new Larry David series revisiting famous moments from American history with cringe humor and petty grievances. None of this would have happened, though, without the actions of key Revolutionary War players who fought against tyranny and secured independence from Great Britain. Everyone knows General George Washington , the founding fathers, and Paul Revere , but a new graphic novel Kickstarter, courtesy of the creator of the original Prince of Persia video games, Jordan Mechner , from Oni Press and Magnetic Press, is shining a light on the unsung heroes of the war effort.
