SUMMARY:Camp Life: Enduring the 1776 Bucks County Encampments
DESCRIPTION:The desperate condition of the soldiers who crossed the Delaware River on December 25\, 1776 has become as legendary as the crossing itself. Less well-known are the conditions under which these soldiers lived in the weeks preceding the crossing. \nOn Sunday\, December 3 at 7 PM\, Park Military Historian Colin Zimmerman will examine the reality of the difficult and complex encampments and how they impacted what would prove to be a decisive military stroke in the American War for Independence. \nDue to the overwhelming response to attend\, we are switching entirely to livestream. There will be no in-person component to this program. The event is free to attend but registration is required to receive the Zoom link. Click here to register.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Washington’s Marines: The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution\, 1775-1777”
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, November 4 at 1:30 PM\, commemorate the Marine Corps birthday with Jason Q. Bohm (Maj. Gen. USMC) as he discusses his book on the founding and early years of the corps. \nThe story begins with the oppressive days that drove America into a conflict for which it was ill-prepared\, when thirteen independent colonies commenced a war against the world’s most powerful military with nothing more than local militias\, privateers\, and other ad hoc units. \nIt continues with the creation of the Continental Marines and the men who led them during the parallel paths followed by the Army and Marines in the war’s opening years and the early successes and failures at Lexington and Concord\, Bunker Hill\, Canada\, Boston\, Charleston\, and more. The story concludes as Washington’s Marines join their fellow soldiers in a protracted land campaign that culminated in turning-point victories at Trenton\, Assunpink Creek\, and Princeton. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Visitor Center. It will also be live-streamed on Zoom. Log-in information will be sent following registration. Registration is required for both in-person and virtual attendance.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile 1777-1778”
DESCRIPTION:On Wednesday\, September 27 at 7 PM\, Norman E. Donoghue II will discuss his new book\, Prisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile at the Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center Auditorium. The event is free to attend but registration is required. Click here to register. \nIn 1777\, Congress labeled Quakers who would not take up arms in support of the War of Independence as “the most Dangerous Enemies America knows” and ordered Pennsylvania and Delaware to apprehend them. In response\, Keystone State officials sent twenty men—seventeen of whom were Quakers—into exile\, banishing them to Virginia\, where they were held for a year. \nPrisoners of Congress: Philadelphia’s Quakers in Exile\, 1777-1778 (Penn State University Press\, 2023) reconstructs this moment in American history through the experiences of four families: the Drinkers\, the Fishers\, the Pembertons\, and the Gilpins. Identifying them as the new nation’s first political prisoners\, Norman E. Donoghue II relates how the Quakers\, once the preeminent power in Pennsylvania and an integral constituency of the colonies and early republic\, came to be reviled by patriots who saw refusal to fight the English as borderline sedition. \nSurprising\, vital\, and vividly told\, this narrative of political and literal warfare waged by the United States against a pacifist religious group during the Revolutionary War era sheds new light on an essential aspect of American history. It will appeal to anyone interested in learning more about the nation’s founding. \nDr. Patrick Spero\, the former Librarian & Director of the American Philosophical Society’s Library & Museum\, has written of Ned’s book that it “brings to life one of the most important and compelling events of the American Revolution in Philadelphia” and that it is “an untold story of national significance.” \nThe talk will be held in-person only. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing with the author will be held after the talk.  This event is hosted by the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Founding Friendship: George Washington\, James Madison\, and the Creation of the American Republic”
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, June 4 at 1:30 PM\, join Stuart Leibiger as he discusses his book Founding Friendship: George Washington\, James Madison\, and the Creation of the American Republic. Dr. Leibiger analyzes the rise and fall of the friendship and political collaboration between these two Revolutionary Statesmen. After teaming up to help win American Independence\, Washington and Madison cooperated on the framing and ratification of the U.S. Constitution. When Washington took office as first president\, Madison was his right-hand man and confidant\, providing advice on policy and precedents. With the rise of the Federalist and Republican parties\, however\, Washington and Madison gradually drifted apart personally and ideologically\, and eventually ended up as political enemies. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Visitor Center. It will also be live-streamed on Zoom. Log-in information will be sent following registration. Registration is required for both in-person and virtual attendance.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “Feeding Washington’s Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778” with Ricardo Herrera
DESCRIPTION:On Thursday\, June 1 at 7 PM\, Ricardo A. Herrera will discuss his new book\, Feeding Washington’s Army: Surviving the Valley Forge Winter of 1778 (Chapel Hill\, University of North Carolina Press\, 2022) at Washington Crossing Historic Park. \nIn this major new history of the Continental Army’s Grand Forage of 1778\, award-winning military historian Herrera uncovers what daily life was like for soldiers during the darkest and coldest days of the American Revolution: the Valley Forge winter. Here\, the army launched its largest and riskiest operation—not a bloody battle against British forces but a campaign to feed itself and prevent starvation or dispersal during the long encampment. Herrera brings to light the army’s herculean efforts to feed itself\, support local and Continental governments\, and challenge the British Army. \nHighlighting the missteps and triumphs of both General George Washington and his officers as well as ordinary soldiers\, sailors\, and militiamen\, Feeding Washington’s Army moves far beyond oft-told\, heroic\, and mythical tales of Valley Forge and digs deeply into its daily reality\, revealing how close the Continental Army came to succumbing to starvation and how strong and resourceful its soldiers and leaders actually were. \nThe talk will be held in-person at the Visitor Center and will also be livestreamed. Books will be available for purchase and a book signing with the author will be held after the talk. The event is free to attend but registration is required to attend in person and receive the Zoom link. Click here to register. \nThis event is hosted by the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society.

SUMMARY:Lecture – The Doans and The Revolution
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, May 7 at 1:30 PM\, Washington Crossing Historic Park welcomes curators Annie Halliday and Clint Flack from the Mercer Museum to discuss the notorious Doan gang\, their background\, and activities early in the revolution. The Doan gang was a group of British loyalists\, the most notorious members being five brothers and one cousin from the Doan family of Plumstead. The gang was composed of around 30 members who were accused murderers\, attainted traitors\, horse thieves\, and ferried British prisoners of war to British lines. They were also guilty of robbing tax collectors\, their most famous crime being the theft of the Bucks County treasury in 1781. \nThis 45 minute lecture focuses on the Doan gang and their activities during the American Revolution. Events covered include the Loyalist raid of the Bird in the Hand and the Battle of Crooked Billet. This lecture is based entirely on contemporary records including court documents\, eyewitness accounts\, and newspaper appearances. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Visitor Center. Registration is required on the DCNR website. Click here to register.
