SUMMARY:Lecture: John McCurdy "Quarters"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Fall 2019 Lecture Series sponsored by the Sons of the\nRevolution in the State of New Jersey\, John Gilbert McCurdy will speak\nabout his book “Quarters: The Accommodation of the British Army and the\nComing of the American Revolution” on Thursday\, October 24 at 7 PM. Books\nwill be available for purchase in the Quartermaster’s Store Gift Shop. \nWhen Americans declared independence in 1776\, they cited King George III\n“for quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.” In Quarters\, John\nGilbert McCurdy explores the social and political history behind the\ncharge\, offering an authoritative account of the housing of British\nsoldiers in America. Providing new interpretations and analysis of the\nQuartering Act of 1765\, McCurdy sheds light on a misunderstood aspect of\nthe American Revolution. \nQuarters unearths the vivid debate in eighteenth-century America over the\nmeaning of place. It asks why the previously uncontroversial act of\naccommodating soldiers in one’s house became an unconstitutional act. In so\ndoing\, Quarters reveals new dimensions of the origins of Americans’ right\nto privacy. It also traces the transformation of military geography in the\nlead up to independence\, asking how barracks changed cities and how\nattempts to reorder the empire and the borderland led the colonists to\nimagine a new nation. \nQuarters emphatically refutes the idea that the Quartering Act forced\nBritish soldiers in colonial houses\, demonstrates the effectiveness of the\nQuartering Act at generating revenue\, and examines aspects of the law long\nignored\, such as its application in the backcountry and its role in shaping\nCanadian provinces. \nAbove all\, Quarters argues that the lessons of accommodating British troops\noutlasted the Revolutionary War\, profoundly affecting American notions of\nplace. McCurdy shows that the Quartering Act had significant ramifications\,\ncodified in the Third Amendment\, for contemporary ideas of the home as a\nplace of domestic privacy\, the city as a place without troops\, and a nation\nwith a civilian-led military. \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

SUMMARY:Evening with the Curator: Jane Neely and Women's Education in the 18th Century
DESCRIPTION:Washington Crossing Historic Park’s Evening with the Curator series continues on Sunday\, October 27 at 7 PM with a free lecture on Jane Neely and women’s education in the 18th century.\nRegistration opens September 1. To register\, please call the Visitor Center at 215-493-4076.\nJane Neely was nine years old when the Continental Army camped on her family’s property (now the Thompson-Neely House and Farmstead) before the crossing in December 1776.\nTwelve years later\, Jane attended Philadelphia’s Young Ladies’ Academy: the first chartered school for girls in the United States. The academy opened just a few blocks from the nation’s first capital and the office where George Washington would soon preside as the first president of the United States.\nAnd it was the only school of its kind to include science in the curriculum.\n“There were many academies for young ladies throughout the country at that time\,” says park curator Kimberly McCarty\, who will give the lecture in October. “Typically\, though\, the curriculum focused on the more refined domestic arts\, such as embroidery and music\, the types of things an up-and-coming young lady would need to help her create a beautiful home to raise a family and entertain others of her social status. The study of science\, particularly chemistry\, was a product of the Enlightenment and was the territory of men—until the Young Ladies’ Academy came along.”

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

SUMMARY:Lecture: Joyce Malcolm "The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold: An American Life"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Fall 2019 Lecture Series sponsored by the Sons of the\nRevolution in the State of New Jersey\, Joyce Malcolm will speak about her\nbook “The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold: An American Life ” on Tuesday\,\nNovember 14 at 7 PM. Books will be available for purchase in the\nQuartermaster’s Store Gift Shop. \nFinalist\, 2019 George Washington Book Prize \nA vivid and timely re-examination of one of young America’s most\ncomplicated figures: the war hero turned infamous traitor\, Benedict Arnold. \nProud and talented\, history now remembers this conflicted man solely\nthrough the lens of his last desperate act of treason. Yet the fall of\nBenedict Arnold remains one of the Revolutionary period’s great puzzles.\nWhy did a brilliant military commander\, who repeatedly risked his life\nfighting the British\, who was grievously injured in the line of duty\, and\nfell into debt personally funding his own troops\, ultimately became a\ntraitor to the patriot cause? \nHistorian Joyce Lee Malcolm skillfully unravels the man behind the myth and\ngives us a portrait of the true Arnold and his world. There was his\ndramatic victory against the British at Saratoga in 1777 and his troubled\nchildhood in a pre-revolutionary America beset with class tension and\neconomic instability. We witness his brilliant wartime military exploits\nand learn of his contentious relationship with a newly formed and fractious\nCongress\, fearful of powerful military leaders\, like Arnold\, who could\nthreaten the nation’s fragile democracy. \nThroughout\, Malcolm weaves in portraits of Arnold’s great allies―George\nWashington\, General Schuyler\, his beautiful and beloved wife Peggy Shippen\,\nand others―as well as his unrelenting enemy John Adams\, British General\nClinton\, and master spy John Andre. Thrilling and thought-provoking\, The\nTragedy of Benedict Arnold sheds new light on a man―as well on the nuanced\nand complicated time in which he lived.\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
