1776: Gus Kotka, Johnny Reb and the Dandies of Harlem Heights ~ New WCHU on the Bryan William Brickner Blog.
“Yankee Doodle Dandy was sung in slur by British officers,” opened Bryan W. Brickner of Ew Publishing, “that is, until the Spirit of ’76 started singing.”
In honor of the rebel Yankee Doodle Dandy and the Spirit of ’76, the Ew Publishing summer series War Cry Heal Union (WCHU) addresses American sacrifice and the revolutionaries via the New York Battle of Harlem Heights, 16 September 1776.
Hosted on the Bryan William Brickner Blog, the ninth installment of the WCHU series, 1776: Gus Kotka, Johnny Reb and the Dandies of Harlem Heights, examines revolutionaries in rebellion (and battle). In a “spirited” dialogue between two Civil War soldiers, Augustus (Gus) Kotka and the composite character Johnny Reb, the American tradition of rebellion (Yankee Doodle Dandy) is honored through the deaths of two revolutionary soldiers, Thomas Knowlton and Andrew Leitch.
