Gilbert Hunt

Note:
He ". . . was a slave and a blacksmith. His heroic actions saved many lives after fire broke out at the Richmond Theatre. He later acted with noble-hearted courage during the war of 1812, working in the US Army day and night to help build, prepare, and mount cannons for his country's defense. Hunt also was credited for helping to save the lives of many prisoners at a burning penitentiary a few years prior to his heroic actions at the theatre." Bridge to Strength [ More ]
