There are a few famous names from the American Revolution, but there is one lesser-known figure who deserves our recognition. In this illuminating edition of COBBLESTONE Magazine, your kids will be introduced to Dr. Benjamin Rush, who was not only a Founding Father, but also the “Father of American Psychiatry.”
From receiving his degree at age 14 to being an outspoken abolitionist who published his condemnation of slavery, Dr. Benjamin Rush made an impact. You and your kids will discover how in many ways he helped lay the foundation for modern medicine even while practicing some outdated procedures. Additionally, he was America’s first chemistry professor! A truly fascinating fellow, Dr. Benjamin Rush is certainly worth getting to know.
