SUMMARY:Thompson-Neely Evening Encampment Tour
DESCRIPTION:General George Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River invokes memories of the Continental Army struggling for its survival through the harsh winter weather\, poor shelter\, and scant clothing.

SUMMARY:Captain Daniel Bray
DESCRIPTION:Daniel Bray was first a Scottish farmer from Baptisttown\, NJ who became an experienced Waterman on the Delaware River\, rising to Captain of his own Durham boat in 1769 at age 19. Later he joined the 2nd Regiment Hunterdon County NJ Militia\, rising to captain in 1775. He earned his position in history when General George Washington charged him with obtaining the boats needed to cross the Delaware River on Christmas Night in 1776. Later he was promoted to general of the militia\, and fought in the War of 1812. \nEnjoy a first-person interpretation about Daniel Bray — from his boyhood as a farmer\, to building Durham boats \,to becoming a waterman on the river\, to marriage\, to getting the boats for George Washington —  then back to farming and finally the War of 1812. There is some audience participation\, two costume changes\, and a short play. The talk is supported by slides\, a River Shanty\, and a recited ballad.    \nThe narrator Daniel Nurmi McAuliffe has been a reenactor for 32 years with the 5th PA Regiment\, crossing the Delaware numerous times. In 2016 he was asked to portray Captain Daniel Bray to replace his deceased mentor\, Dick Bray\, a direct descendant. \nCome hear how this Scotsman learned how to “Git On Wit It!” in his life.

With a lifelong love for history and supportive parents\, he earned a Bachelor of Arts in History from Rowan University in 2014. A year later\, Joe enrolled in American Public University’s Environmental Management program\, completing his Master of Science degree in 2017.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThis is a hybrid event.  Visitors may attend in-person in the Visitor Center Auditorium or virtually on Zoom.  Registration is required.  Log-in information provided with registration.  \nBenjamin Carp will discuss his book The Great New York Fire of 1776: A Lost Story of the American Revolution. \n  \nNew York City\, the strategic center of the Revolutionary War\, was the most important place in North America in 1776. That summer\, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than let the British take it. Shortly after the Crown’s forces took New York City\, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground. \nThis is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783. Uncovering stories of espionage\, terror\, and radicalism\, Benjamin L. Carp paints a vivid picture of the chaos\, passions\, and unresolved tragedies that define a historical moment we usually associate with “life\, liberty\, and the pursuit of happiness.” \nRegister Here!
