i’ve become increasingly more interested in Von Steuben because if you. What’s your favourite fun fact about him? Or just something you love to say about him.
Hihihi I'm wagging my tail like a dog because I need more questions. Sorry for the late reply
And I am very honored to have sparked some more Steuben appreciation!
I really don't have a singular favorite fact about him because everything I tell anyone is based on what they already know. But some lesser known things that I think are fun are that in his later life, he wrote to Alexander Hamilton saying that Hamilton was kind of fat and needed to go on more walks, and he also took Philip Hamilton to the park sometimes. He was present at the Doctor's Riot of 1788, where he was hit by a brickbat in the head and commanded the people to fire, and since many of them had served in amrev, they did so. That's cool. That is not talked about very often. Also, Russian was his first language, since he lived there when he was one year old to when he was nine years old! Huzzah! Yapping!!! Random things that are cool to say!!
