SUMMARY:Lecture: David Price "The Road to Assunpink Creek: Liberty's Desperate Hour  and the Ten Crucial Days of the American Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Fall 2019 Lecture Series sponsored by the Sons of the\nRevolution in the State of New Jersey\, David Price will speak about his\nbook “The Road to Assunpink Creek: Liberty’s Desperate Hour and the Ten\nCrucial Days of the American Revolution” on Tuesday\, October 15 at 7 PM.\nBooks will be available for purchase in the Quartermaster’s Store Gift\nShop. \nThe Road to Assunpink Creek puts a spotlight on what may be the most\nunappreciated moment of a young nation’s revolutionary struggle when George\nWashington’s army narrowly escaped destruction to keep alive its fight for\nAmerican independence \nPerhaps no military action in our country’s history is more paradoxical\nthan the one on the road to Assunpink Creek\, and at the bridge that crossed\nit\, in the sense that its obscurity in the public mind and neglect by many\nhistorians is so disproportionate to its impact on the course of a conflict\nwith global implications. The Battle of Assunpink Creek on January 2\, 1777\nwas the second in a sequence of three victories by George Washington’s army\nduring the “Ten Crucial Days” of the American Revolution—the period from\nDecember 25\, 1776 through January 3\, 1777. Those rapid-fire triumphs\, the\nfirst significant successes by the Continental Army\, reversed the momentum\nof the war when it appeared that America’s quest for independence from\nGreat Britain was on the verge of total defeat. \nIn this deftly crafted narrative\, the author explains how Washington’s\ndesperate gamble paid off when the Continental Army fought a daylong\nrunning battle against a militarily superior foe and made a successful\nstand with its back to the Delaware River\, avoiding the very real threat of\ntotal defeat and setting the stage for a dramatic counterattack against a\nsurprised enemy. Price weaves what we know about these events into an\nexciting and unforgettable story and illuminates what most historians treat\nas an afterthought. \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: 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.”
