John Stark, live free or die
After the war, he retired to his farm never to engage in politics again. He was a true Cincinnatus, who had come to the aid of his fellow countrymen twice in war, never indulging in the fame that ordinarily accompanies such heroism. Indeed, like General Morgan, he was an uneducated, unrefined and uncouth man who never wrote a memoir. The love of his men -- his band of brothers -- never diminished. Indeed, when many of them re-settled in northern Ohio, they named their county in his honor -- Stark County -- whose county seat is Canton. -- Don Surber
