Two black patriots of old

Salem Poor, and Peter Salem of Massachusetts earned their pages in American History before there was even an America. Taking part in the Battle of Concord, and then in the battle of Breeds (Bunker) Hill, they are each credited with shooting down British officers and helping to turn the fight to the revolutionaries favor. Salem Poor was at Valley Forge with Washington.
