SUMMARY:Lecture: Peter Stark "Young Washington: How Wilderness and War Forged  America's Founding Father"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Fall 2019 Lecture Series sponsored by the Sons of the\nRevolution in the State of New Jersey\, Peter Stark will speak about his\nbook “Young Washington: How Wilderness and War Forged America’s Founding\nFather ” on Tuesday\, November 14 at 7 PM. Books will be available for\npurchase in the Quartermaster’s Store Gift Shop. \nFinalist\, 2019 George Washington Book Prize \nA new\, brash\, and unexpected view of the president we thought we knew\, from\nthe bestselling author of Astoria \nTwo decades before he led America to independence\, George Washington was a\nflailing young soldier serving the British Empire in the vast wilderness of\nthe Ohio Valley. Naïve and self-absorbed\, the twenty-two-year-old officer\naccidentally ignited the French and Indian War—a conflict that opened\ncolonists to the possibility of an American Revolution. \nWith powerful narrative drive and vivid writing\, Young Washington recounts\nthe wilderness trials\, controversial battles\, and emotional entanglements\nthat transformed Washington from a temperamental striver into a mature\nleader. Enduring terrifying summer storms and subzero winters imparted\nresilience and self-reliance\, helping prepare him for what he would one day\nface at Valley Forge. Leading the Virginia troops into battle taught him to\nset aside his own relentless ambitions and stand in solidarity with those\nwho looked to him for leadership. Negotiating military strategy with\nBritish and colonial allies honed his diplomatic skills. And thwarted in\nhis obsessive\, youthful love for one woman\, he grew to cultivate deeper\,\nenduring relationships. \nBy weaving together Washington’s harrowing wilderness adventures and a\nbroader historical context\, Young Washington offers new insights into the\ndramatic years that shaped the man who shaped a nation. \nThe full lecture schedule is:\nAll lectures begin at 7 PM and the Museum Shop opens at 6:30 PM\nTuesday\, October 15: David Price – The Road to Assunpink Creek\nThursday\, October 24: John Gilbert McCurdy – Quarters\nTuesday\, October 29: Hal Taylor – Before Penn\nMonday\, November 4: Kenneth Gossard – Thalers and Pence\nThursday\, November 14: Peter Stark – Young Washington\nThursday\, November 21: Joyce Malcolm – The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold
