General Washington loved this guy. And well he should have! Bernard Cornwell should start a series on his military career. An American Sharpe!

Thanks for posting, as usual. What an amazing biography of Mr. Francisco. His exploits are almost unbelievable. How can a man get seriously wounded so many times and not have infection take his life? He was truly blessed.

Thank you so much for posting this....I am going to buy it for my nephew’s 18th birthday. This kid is a lost soul, and needs to go into the military...says he loves history, also....so MAYBE this will get him there, or help him find something outside of himself to live for.

This is a really great story. I wish some film would be made about him. Could be a nice swashbuckler!
Exciting to hear about someone actually researching the man from his native lands. All this time it’s been touted as a mystery. Apparently no-one bothered to check foreign archives.
