Nancy was a tall, lanky, powerful woman, standing nearly 6 feet and perfectly bred for backwoods life. She had long, thick hair and a fearless, determined spirit. Friends said she was an excellent shot with a rifle and could handle a man’s full day of heavy labor with nary a complaint. She was also a skilled herbalist and backwoods doctor and a devout Christian. She always helped her neighbors and defended them when necessary.
Born Nancy Morgan in the 1740s in North Carolina. When about 25 years old she moved to Georgia marrying Benjamin Hart. They had six sons and two daughters. A well-known, respected, and scrappy family of Georgians. Many places in Georgia today preserve the family name “Hart.”
It wasn’t long before young Nancy received the nickname “War Woman,” given to her by a local Cherokee chief who had once gotten on her bad side. But mostly, she was an early and passionate patriot for the American cause of independence from Great Britain. This Podcast Episode documents one of her better-known stories proving her American Patriot credentials as a woman not be trifled with…!

Pauline saw her nation being destroyed from within, torn apart by Southern Rebels. And though at first, she refused to get involved.
But when the call came to stand and fight, she did, in the only way she knew how, as a special spy for Abraham Lincoln, no less, a mission she executed with great skill, helping to save her beloved United States.
In the end, however, she died sick and all alone far from home, tragically hoping that someone might come to offer comfort.
Today, while few Americans have ever heard of her, we at the HEROES FOR FREEDOM remember Pauline Cushman and honor her. Union Spy, yes! And a darned good one.
But more so, a patriotic Hero who gave all she had. An amazing American woman we hope is never forgotten.

We often learn more from our heroes’ failures than their successes…
The old man, head bent forward in hopelessness, rode silently in the public carriage. He flexed his right fist, looking at the hand that God had given him to raise to the square, as God had called him to Christ’s Ministry years before when he was a rebellious young man.
Inside and seated across from him was a beautiful young woman, a stranger. For some reason she began to hum, then sing, the iconic words to a hymn that she later said had always inspired her. The hymn was titled: "Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing."
The young woman sang with pure intent. Then, sat still a moment, but wanting to pass the time, asked if the old man had liked her singing? He responded after a long, uncomfortable silence, his eyes filling with tears:
“Madam, I am the poor unhappy man who wrote that hymn many years ago, and I would give a thousand worlds if I could once more enjoy the feelings I had back then.”
The carriage rode on in silence as the sunset faded from view.
One of the great Christian ministers and the author of a longtime beloved hymn died alone and in obscurity, convinced that God had abandoned him. In truth—which he knew—he had abandoned God. How and why that happened is one of history’s truly untold stories of personal peace and inspiration.

James knew. This time it was up to him.
Piloting his supercharged P-51 Mustang fighter, reaching speeds up to 440 mph, his eyes narrowed on the mass of incoming German Luftwaffe warplanes—more than 30 strong!—all with orders to shoot down the slow, lumbering, American B-17s, those that James must protect—at all cost.
These B-17 crews of young American airmen, grit their teeth, seeing the swarms of enemy and doubting they would make it home alive that day. But, instead, they would have a front row seat for one of the most incredible dog fighting exhibitions in history. Personally, even reverently, some believed what happened in the sky that day was a miracle, their own “Angel On Their Shoulders” moment, guided by a loving God who had not forgotten them.
And in this case, Heaven could not have picked a better angel, though a destroying angel to be sure!

Christianity was about to be conquered and extinguished by a massive enemy army.
September 11th in 1683, the City of Vienna—the Gateway to Western Europe—was about to be overrun and wiped out. The survival of Christian Europe in the balance.
Then, appearing on the mountain above Vienna, the Winged Hussar Christian Knights, under the command of King John Sobieski. 18,000 Christian Knights rode down the mountain smashing into the flank of this huge Turkish Army (180,000 strong!), crushing them and driving this invading army back into Turkish Lands.
Islam’s armies would not invade Europe again. Christian Europe was saved.
The grateful citizens of Vienna welcomed these Christian Knights with hugs and kisses for there, that day, before their eyes, they witnessed one of the most strategically important miracles in history…

CAN YOU GUESS THIS HERO? YOU KNOW HIM…
He was the young nose gunner in a B-29 Superfortress. This was his 25th and last mission. But it would be his toughest.
Their target was the Hodogaya Chemical Plant located in the heart of Tokyo City. A vital target that while operating provided the Japanese military with the critical chemicals needed to continue the war. As his bomber approached the target they were swarmed by Japanese Zero fighters.
The battle was intense, each member of the crew fighting for their lives and to protect their plane. Our hero, the bomber’s nose gunner, was hammered with enemy machineguns and 20-millimeter cannon, shattering the plexiglass. His blood was splattered everywhere but he stayed with his guns fighting to the end…
This special hero is one you’ve known all your life, but not by his true name. Like so many Americans, he came from hardworking, salt-of-the-earth immigrant parents.
In the shallow glitz of Hollywood, he would be the first to agree that he was a fish out of water. But whether playing a movie role, or finding himself in the heat of battle, he protected, fought for, and stood with his team, with his compatriots, with his friends and family to the end.
That is our American Hero we know and love.

Over the past half-millennium, the name of Christopher Columbus has run the gambit from hero to genocidal monster.
By his own admission, Columbus “was not an educated man.” Yet he spoke at least four languages and could write skillfully in two.
He was a devout Christian who never uttered a profanity, yet spent his life around sailors, some of the most profane men on earth.
Today our children are taught to blame Columbus for much of the evil in our world. This is unjust.
Certainly, Columbus was anything but perfect. Still, most (or all) of the atrocities attributed to him are not entirely accurate, or understood.
In this Podcast Episode we take an in-depth look at Columbus and how he viewed his mission. We cite perhaps the finest contemporary historian, Bartolome de las Casas, offering firsthand insights into Columbus, the man, which have been generally discarded by academia today.
“History (as the great historian tells us) must be judged STRENUOUSLY and within historical context.” In this episode we attempt to do just that.

The American nation was dying. Everyone could see it.
The South’s leaders, both military and political, were determined to tear apart the United States, breaking up the American continent into several opposing “statelets,” some slave, some free, but all hating each other in perpetuity.
To stop and defeat this Satanic process was, in my mind, why President Abraham Lincoln was born and why he is perhaps the most irreplaceable hero in America’s illustrious past.
In this Episode (Part 2) we will see how the Lord used President Lincoln to save the American Republic and to implement the eternal promises found in the Declaration of Independence that “All men are created equal.”
How he did this was nothing short of miraculous!

We are all at a different place on life’s road. President Abraham Lincoln was not only at a different place, but on an entirely different road!
But the Lord had not forgotten Lincoln, and by extension, us and our great nation during its most trying times. And though Lincoln’s path was as trying as any, Lincoln came to understand that he must, in our behalf, persevere.
God had a mission for him and for the United States of America. This incredible yet forgotten story from America’s past is precisely what we and our children need to hear today.
I guarantee that you will be enlightened and will view our 16th president with even greater respect and admiration…

The Japanese were breaking every code. American Marines were dying by the thousands. Something had to be done.
Then in 1942, 29 young Navajo men from Arizona, including Carl Gorman, stepped forward and volunteered to fight the Japanese. Their contributions ended up saving the lives of thousands of Marines and shortening the war by at least a year.
They were known as the famous Navajo Code Talkers and I became friends with one of the most decorated of the platoon.
This is the story of how I met Carl Gorman, and what I learned from this humble warrior, deep inside the Navajo Reservation back in 1974…
I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.
“Without the heroic contribution of the Navajo Code Talkers the U.S. Marines would not have taken Iwo Jima (critical battle against the Japanese in World War II)” (said Major Howard Connor, 5th Marine Division’s Intelligence Officer).
