Join us on Wednesday, October 1 at 6:30 p.m., for an author’s talk featuring Douglas Branson, Ph.D., of the University of Pittsburgh discussing his new book that explores some of Washington’s most colorful generals to show the relationships and dynamics between each and their impact on the Continental Army throughout the Revolution.
Revolutionary Beginnings kicks off our commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the Revolutionary War with an examination of three critical and underappreciated battles—at Bunker Hill, Quebec and Sullivan’s Island—that demonstrate how widespread the rebellion was prior to the Declaration of Independence.
A recent conservation project focused on a “Return of Ordnance Stores” dated January 1, 1777—a detailed accounting of the cannons, carriages, powder, shot and military stores distributed by the Continental Army in and around Boston at the close of 1776. Conservation flatted the four-foot-long manuscript so its information can be studied.
