History remembers that notable day when Lt. Colonel William Ledyard was killed in the Battle of Groton Heights in 1781.  But what about his life prior to that fateful day?

John Steward, writer of Tossing Lines,  is on a mission to fill in the missing pieces of the Colonel’s legacy. Join us virtually as Steward explores Ledyard’s personal and business world in order to better understand who he really was as national events guided his life and destiny. What did this merchant, legislator, husband, and father of nine, really have to lose when he was brutally killed by the sword in Connecticut’s only Revolutionary War battle?
