Lighting the Fire

from The Dave Bowman Show

On this episode of *Dave Does History*, we shine a long-overdue spotlight on Benjamin Harrison V—Founding Father, Virginia governor, and signer of the Declaration of Independence. Born into privilege at Berkeley Plantation, Harrison stood tall—literally and politically—among the giants of his age. He helped shape the birth of America, raised a future president, and left behind a legacy that still echoes today. Join us as we uncover the life, wit, grit, and patriotism of a man who helped light the fire of liberty—and whose descendants kept that flame burning in the White House. Available now on Spotify, iHeartRadio, and iTunes.
