PULASKI, CASIMIR, COUNT (1748-1779)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 640 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PRE-PYR
PULASKI, CASIMIR, COUNT (1748-1779) , Polish soldier, was born in Podolia in 1748, and took a prominent share, under his father
Count
  Joseph Pulaski, in the formation of the con-federation of Bar and in the military operations which followed, becoming ultimately
commander
 -in-
chief
  of the Polish patriot forces. Driven into
exile
  about 1772, Pulaski went to America and joined the army of Washington in 1777. He distinguished himself at once in the battle of Brandywine, was made a brigadier-general and
chief
  of cavalry by Congress, and fought at
Germantown
 , and in the battles of the winter 1777-78, after which he raised a mixed corps called the Pulaski legion. At the head of this force he won further distinction in the southern theatre of war, and successfully defended Charleston in May 1779. He was mortally wounded soon afterwards at the unsuccessful attack on
Savannah
  (Oct. 9) and died two days later on board ship. Congress voted a
monument
  to his memory; and though this vote has never been carried into execution,
Lafayette
  laid the corner-stone of a
monument
  in
Savannah
  in 1824, and this was completed in 1855.
