Eternal Allegiance to Freedom

Eternal Allegiance to Freedom shares the story of the last surviving soldier of the American Revolutionary War, Pvt. John Gray. Living into his one hundred and fifth year, Gray was uniquely positioned throughout his life to witness events and figures of great historic significance. From the Revolution to Reconstruction, Gray defied time to experience and later reflect upon key moments in American history. Through interviews conducted in his last days, Gray delivered impassioned observations of war, slavery, politics, and religion. Drawing sharp contrast between the Radicals and Conservatives of his time, Pvt. Gray's words expose the similarities between our current political climate and the darkest days of American history. His story reminds us all of what it means to be an American, and the true cost of American liberty.
