Discover the amazing tale of Ezra Trim (portrayed by relative Steve Trimm). A survivor of a horrifying Native American attack in his childhood, Ezra later witnessed the drama of the Revolution unfold as a continental soldier. His service in the infantry and later artillery would take him from his home state of Connecticut to the Battle of Harlem Heights, where 100 years later Ulysses S. Grant would be laid to rest. After the war, Ezra started a family and lived for many years in the Saratoga area, just miles from Mt. McGregor.
