I was interested in covering a Samurai (though Musashi would have used the term ‘Bushi’ and not Samurai) because I had never studied these historical warriors in-depth before and thought they may serve as good examples of Warrior Poets. All of these references were used as well as the commentary by David Groff. Musashi is also known for his great tactical knowledge in combat and authored ‘The 5 Rings ’, ‘The 35 Articles’, and ‘The Path Walked Alone’. He is considered one of the greatest swordsmen of all time and perfected the 2 swords fighting style. Miyamoto musashi was a masterless samurai (Ronin) who lived in Japan in the 1600s.

Most recently William Temple was invited to speak at Donald Trump's inauguration to represent the historical personage of Patrick Henry. William Temple is a political activist heavily involved with the Tea Party movement and has appeared on major news networks such as Fox News, CNN, C-SPAN, as well as by Stephen Colbert of the Colbert Report, and Saturday Night Live (SNL). In the video we see his greatness shine in the freezing plains of Valley Forge, just one year after the colonists had forged the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Some historians call George Washington the 'indispensable man', fighting against all odds, against the British, Indians, disease, the cold, congress, and allies seeking to supplant him. One thing is certain though, our flickering American Revolution would have been extinguished if he were not there to fight it. Washington was highly respected as a man of incredible moral character, influence, strength, and fortitude, however, many today would cast judgment on him as a slave owner (and perhaps rightfully so), as well as a few other historical grienances. In this video we discuss George Washington's life and legacy, to include the good and the more controversial.
