Prince Estabrook’s life as an enslaved man who fought for American independence is chronicled in this narrative. It details his participation in the Battles of Lexington and Concord, where he was wounded, and his subsequent service in the Continental Army. The account highlights his unique position as someone fighting for a nation that simultaneously denied him his own freedom. Despite being enslaved, he demonstrated unwavering commitment to the ideals of liberty, and his story remained largely untold for many years. Documents and memorials have recently brought renewed recognition to his contributions and sacrifices. His story underscores the complex motivations and contributions of Black patriots during the American Revolution.
