Listen "Zebulon Pike"
Episode Synopsis
The world Zebulon Montgomery Pike was born into on January 5, 1779, was one of tumult and transformation. The American Revolution was in full swing, and the infant United States, fighting for its independence, was a land of ideals and ambition. Pike’s birthplace, Lamington, New Jersey, lay amid the chaos and hope of a burgeoning nation. His father, a Continental Army officer, imbued young Zebulon with a deep sense of patriotism and duty. Growing up on the frontier in Ohio and Illinois, Pike absorbed the rugged resilience of the early settlers and dreamed of carving his name into the story of America.
