Casimir Pulaski fought courageously to save Poland from partition, but was unsuccessfully. In 1777, he came to America to fight in the war for independence and as a cavalry general won distinction in numerous campaigns. Mortally wounded in the Battle of Savannah, he left behind him a cavalry unit which became the nucleus for future squadrons and earned him the title of "Father of the American Cavalry." In recognition of his services numerous towns, schools, highways, bridges, etc. were named after him in U.S.A.
