Colonel Edmund Phinney, a Gorham, Maine soldier, led the eighteenth Continental Regiment during the Revolutionary War. Hand-picked by George Washington, Phinney guided troops from Gorham and nearby towns, playing a significant role in the siege of Boston. After a year of service, the regiment disbanded, and Phinney returned home, a veteran of the French and Indian War. His story underscores the local roots of early American fighters.
