Casimir Pulaski is important to Georgia's history because he fought in the American Revolutionary War as a Polish cavalry officer and is considered the Father of the American Cavalry. He played a crucial role in the Battle of Savannah in 1779, where he was mortally wounded. He is remembered for his bravery and leadership in the war, and his legacy lives on in the Pulaski County in Georgia, as well as the Pulaski Monument in Savannah.
