King George (2011)
“Was today the day he would enlist in the Continental army? “I thought I was as warm a Patriot as the best of them,” Martin said. On the other hand, he wasn’t exactly sure he was ready to risk getting shot. “I felt myself to be a real coward,”he admitted.
Expect a Bloody Summer Joseph Plumb Martin walked up to the table where a Continental army officer was seated. A bunch of Martin’s friends were standing around the table, trying to get their courage up.
