  The highest mountain in Australia is Mt. Kosciuszko, named by the Polish explorer Paweł (Paul) Edmund Strzelecki in 1840, in honour of Tadeusz Kościuszko, general and hero of the Kościuszko Uprising and American Revolutionary War, because of its perceived resemblance to the Kościuszko Mound in Kraków, Poland

  This was a really good presentation. Juliette clearly knows her stuff and is such an engaging speaker. I know a little of the history discussed but there&apos;s always a lot more to learn.<br>So thanks to Juliette and Woody for bringing us this episode

  My grandparents ship&apos;s manifest list their &quot;Nationality (Country of which citizen or subject)&quot; as Austria and &quot;Race or People&quot; as &quot;Polish&quot;.<br>At Benjamin Franklin&apos;s request Kosciuszko wrote the artillery curriculum for West Point. &nbsp;Casimir Pulaski is considered the father of the US cavalry.

  British attitude about the Poles from a RAF Museum podcast &quot;Poles found British reserved and condescending. &nbsp;British expected the Poles to be uncivilized. &nbsp;Asked by the hostess of a party if Poles lived in houses, two of the pilots borrowed two violins and extablished their cultural credentials by playing a Brahms duet.&quot;
