Ben Remillard joins us to talk about his research into the lives and military service of New England's African-American and Native American Revolutionary War soldiers. We learn more about their complex stories, and their lives before, during, and after the war. He also shares the story of Cato Newell, Wenham Carey, and Luck (or Luke) Russell and the 1788 kidnapping case that shook Boston. Ben Remillard is a doctoral candidate at the University of New Hampshire, and has been combing the archives for these stories and more.
