Friedrich von Steuben
A bayonet is a sharp dagger-like weapon that can be attached to a rifle. This is an example sentence: My uncle had an impressive collection of old rifles and bayonets.
Baron von Steuben volunteered his services during the American Revolution and helped train George Washington's largely untrained troops. Among other things, he taught them how to use bayonets, crucial at a time of single-shot muskets (which weren't very accurate). (Before Von Steuben's arrival, Continental soldiers had used their bayonets only for roasting meat over camp fires.) After the war, the Baron became a U.S. citizen and spent the rest of his life in the country. He is considered one of America's founding fathers (Steubenville is named for him).
