Body
The final stamp in the "Contributors to the Cause" series, Scott #1562, was issued in Greensboro, North Carolina, near the site of the Battle of Guilford Courthouse where Peter Francisco famously fought. An orphan of mysterious origins, Francisco grew to be a man of immense size and strength. He enlisted in the Continental Army at a young age and participated in numerous key battles. His legendary feats of heroism, though perhaps embellished over time, were a source of inspiration for his fellow soldiers. The story of him carrying an 1,100-pound cannon to prevent its capture by the British at the Battle of Camden is a testament to his incredible power and unwavering dedication to the patriot cause.
