O’Donnell to discuss his new book Revolutionary Snipers: Washington’s Frontier Commandos Whose Marksmanship Forged a New Way of War and Helped Win the Revolution. This is the third book in O’Donnell’s Revolution trilogy, following Washington’s Immortals and The Indispensables. It focuses on the frontier riflemen—figures such as Daniel Morgan, Timothy Murphy, and Samuel Brady—who were among the Continental Army’s earliest and most distinctive fighters. Armed with the American long rifle, a weapon far more accurate at distance than the smoothbore muskets used by most British and Continental troops, these men practiced early forms of sniping and irregular warfare. 🎙️ History Shorts is a daily history podcast hosted by historian, author, and Smithsonian Magazine contributor Peter Zablocki.
