Major Andrew McClary, the handsomest Revolutionary War soldier from Ireland to NH and a dramatic end

Tall, handsome, brave, good, smart, strong, patriot… Loved by everyone who knew him, come with me as we look at the life of an incredible man and mostly forgotten hero who’s influence on the beginnings of this country and who’s dramatic ending deserves to be told. You might even have some predisposed notions changed forever after I give you some revolutionary information about the early war. Born in 1730 in Ulster Ireland, Andrew McClary would come to America at the age of 16 and become a force for the patriot cause. His experience as one of Roger’s Rangers would ultimately benefit the nation as his expertise is put to use for a nation just being born. Major McClary was a key figure in the planning and carrying out of pivotal moments in the first 7 months of open rebellion and all out war. From Epsom NH to Portsmouth, New Castle Island and finally Boston. I’ll take you on a journey through a timeline of events that should make Andrew McClary a name known to all Americans. “Thus fell Major McClary, the highest American officer killed at the battle, the handsomest man in the army and the favorite of New Hampshire troops. His dust still slumbers where it was laid by his sorrowing companions in Medford, unhonored by any adequate memorial to tell where lies one of the heroes who ushered in the Revolution with such auspicious omens. His death spreads a gloom not only over the hearts of his men, but all through the Suncook valley; his sun went down at noon on the day that ushered in our nation’s birth.” -Daniel Webster, at the Dedication of the Bunker Hill Monument #bunkerhill #majorandrewmcclary #earlyamerica #epsomnh #newcastleislandnh #portsmouthnhhistory #earlyamerica #revolutionarywar #foundingfathers #fortmcclary #fightingirish #visitnewengland #paulrevere #johnstark #rogersrangers #boston #irishamerican #josephwarren #nhhistory
