Samuel Whittemore A Gnarly Old Dude

over 3 years ago

Growing up we've all said, "my dad can beat up your dad," and we believed it to be true. Well what about the phrase, "my Grandpa can beat up your dad... and your dad... and you. At the same time?" If your grandpa was Samuel Whittemore then it's definitely true! Strider explores the legend of this American Revolutionary War badass with as little bias as possible. No matter what, you gotta respect what Whittemore endured and enacted. Legit.
