#159: James Smith (PA) - A Surveyor of Independence [2024 Winter Holiday Episode]

Sherman Tylawsky

While James Smith did not have nearly the same name recognition as many of his contemporaries, learn how his simple story may reflect a lot about how the signers are remembered and forgotten today. Sherman also shares thoughts and a quick historical excerpt in the spirit of the winter holiday season.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Friends & Fellow Citizens looks forward to welcoming another year in 2025!
