Spirit of '76 T-Shirt – Fife & Drum 1776 Revolutionary War Tee

Based on Archibald Willard's famous 1876 painting — originally titled 'Yankee Doodle' — showing a fife player, a drummer, and a drummer boy marching through the Revolution. It's one of the most reproduced patriotic images in American history.

One hundred years after independence, Willard captured what the founding generation looked like mid-fight: ordinary men, making music, marching toward the British anyway. That spirit didn't expire in 1776.
