Revolutionary War History:
Welcome to 13 Fires Burn On a site dedicated to The American Revolution 1775-1783
Portraying General Washington
The American spirit that started in the 13 colonies, which the Powatomi Indians called the 13 fires, over 250 years ago began an experiment that has survived and still burns on today making the United States the greatest nation in the world.
The American Revolution was just one act in a sequence of events that created our nation. Many of our country's first heroes and traditions emerged from this war. The brave soldiers that served under General George Washington were the first American soldiers to serve this country. General Washington's army was our country's first American Army. The American military tradition was born and formulated in this war for American Independence. Finally, the early Republican Ideology and our Democratic tradition that has allowed freedom to stay alive for so many gained its foundations in this period.
In an attempt to keep this history alive and teach the importance and values of what our country's founding fathers created, Ron Rinaldi has developed several programs and presentations suited for speaking engagements at schools, civic organizations, and historical and holiday events.

For over 20 years Ron has portrayed Major General Nathanael Greene
at the annual Washington Crossing the Delaware Reenactment. Major
General Greene was considered to be one of Washington's most trusted
commanders and the most likely successor had something happened to
Washington.
Along with being with Washington at every major battle from the Boston Siege through Monmouth, and serving as the army's Quartermaster General, Greene successfully led the southern campaign
in the latter part of the revolution.
