Episode Notes
In this episode, we share an interview with Dr. Tom Scott from our YouTube channel about the legend of Nancy Hart. If you’ve lived in Georgia for a while, you have likely come across the legend of Nancy Hart. This rebellious heroine of the American Revolution may or may not have actually existed, but the stories of her bravery, cleverness, and grit have been passed down since the early 1800s.
Dr. Tom Scott from the Department of History at Mercer University joins us to reveal what we do and don’t know about this mythic figure and what she has symbolized since her rise in the popular imagination.
