Ep 13 features a Philip Freneau poem called "The Brave Americans" about the Battle of Eutaw Springs in 1780 in South Carolina during the American Revolution.
Freneau was a member of the New Jersey militia during the war, and also a writer that helped bridge the divide between the neoclassical and the romantic periods. His work signals a shift from the Puritan acknowledgement of God's dealings with man, to a more humanistic, self centered world view.
