Overview

Known to generations of Americans for his stirring call to arms, Give me liberty or give me death, now Patrick Henry is all but forgotten as the first of the Founding Fathers to call for independence, revolution, and a bill of rights. If Washington was the Sword of the Revolution and Jefferson the Pen, Patrick Henry more than earned his epithet as the Trumpet of the Revolution for rousing Americans to arms in the Revolutionary War. Henry was one of the towering figures of the nations formative years and perhaps the greatest orator in American history.
