About this listen

In this episode, we follow George Washington’s journey north from Philadelphia to Cambridge, where he takes command of a scattered group of colonial militias during the Siege of Boston. Under his leadership, the fledgling Continental Army begins to take shape—transforming from a patchwork of untrained volunteers into the seeds of a national force.

Explore how Washington’s presence, discipline, and vision begin forging an American identity long before the Declaration of Independence. From makeshift camps to secret supply missions and strict military reforms, this pivotal moment in July 1775 sets the stage for the revolution to come.
