Many stories of American Revolution heroes remain hidden in time, kept with the more than 230,000 men who fought against the British for independence. Among those unsung heroes is Prince Estabrook, whose journey from enslaved person to soldier encapsulates the struggle of enslaved individuals fighting for their liberty during this pivotal moment in American history. His story, however, is still in the annals of time.
