The Revolutionary War is filled with stories of bravery, but many
of its heroes have remained unknown. Major Philip Ulmer, captain of
the gunboat "Spitfire," is one of those heroes. He first enlisted
as a sergeant in the Massachusetts militia in 1775 and rose through
the ranks through his exemplary leadership, courage and devotion to
duty. He was involved in almost every major event in the North,
including the Battle of Bunker Hill, the Siege of Boston, the
Battle of Lake Champlain, the Penobscot Expedition and the battles
at Trenton, Princeton and Saratoga. He served under the command of
many well-known generals, including Washington, Lafayette, Arnold,
Gates and Knox. After the war, Ulmer forged a business partnership
with Knox in Lincolnville, Maine, and was an original founder of
that town. He answered the call of duty again during the War of
1812 as an intelligence officer with the local militia defending
Penobscot Bay. Discover this remarkable history of a
long-overshadowed American hero.
