S3E1 - "The Death of George Wythe"

Revolutionary War Rarities

Season 3 begins today. George Wythe was known for many things; Signing the Declaration of Independence and teaching and mentoring Thomas Jefferson. But, did you know that he was likely murdered by his own Nephew? There is some strange evidence in this one, but the story is intriguing and worth learning about.
