George Turner (Continental Army)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Turner (c. 1750-1843) was an officer in the Continental Army in South Carolina. After the Revolutionary War, he moved to Philadelphia. He is the likely author of a set of "strictures on the proposed Constitution" which were published in the Freeman's Journal on September 26, 1787. The article was the first criticism of the proposed Constitution to be distributed publically in the United States.
