Discover the rugged, smoke-filled origins of the U.S. Marine Corps. In this premiere episode of Leatherneck USMC History and War Stories, we travel back to November 10, 1775, inside Philadelphia's Tun Tavern. Learn how Captain Samuel Nicholas and recruiter Robert Mullan raised the first two battalions of Continental Marines over pints of ale. We track the legendary origin of the "Leatherneck" uniform and follow the Corps through their very first amphibious landing at the Raid of Nassau, culminating in their vital role fighting alongside General George Washington at Trenton and Princeton.
