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.

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.

SUMMARY:Lecture – ‘She Had a Husband in the Camp’: Following the Army During the War for Independence
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, March 19 at 1:30 PM\, join Carrie Fellows\, Executive Director of the Hunterdon County (NJ) Cultural & Heritage Commission as she examines the life of the women who followed the Continental Army during the revolution.

It will describe some of the duties women performed and how they were compensated for them once they were “on the rolls.” How has popular culture portrayed women in this situation\, and how have those portrayals stood up to what the records reflect? If you’re interested in learning more about portraying an ancestor for the upcoming Semiquincentennial\, this presentation will give you a place to begin. \nThis event will be held in-person in the Visitor Center.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “The Compleat Victory: Saratoga and the American Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Wednesday\, November 9 from 7 to 8 PM at the Washington Crossing Historic Park Visitor Center for a lecture with Kevin J. Weddle on his book\, The Compleat Victory: Saratoga and the American Revolution. This book is the recipient of the 9th annual \, Gilder Lehrman Prize for Military History which is bestowed by the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History in recognition of the best book in the field of military history published in English during the previous calendar year. \nIn the late summer and fall of 1777\, after two years of indecisive fighting on both sides\, the outcome of the American War of Independence hung in the balance. Having successfully expelled the Americans from Canada in 1776\, the British were determined to end the rebellion and devised what they believed a war-winning strategy: sending General John Burgoyne south to rout the Americans and take Albany. When British forces captured Fort Ticonderoga on New York’s Lake Champlain with unexpected ease in July of 1777\, it looked as if it was a matter of time before they would break the rebellion in the North. Less than three and a half months later\, however\, a combination of the Continental Army and militia forces commanded by Major General Horatio Gates and inspired by the heroics of Benedict Arnold\, forced Burgoyne to surrender his entire army. The American victory at Saratoga—described by one general as “the Compleat“—stunned the world and changed the course of the war. In the end\, British plans were undone by a combination of distance\, geography\, logistics\, and an underestimation of American leadership and fighting ability. \nWeddle will discuss some of the key events and themes from this pivotal event in US history based on accounts detailed in his new book\, The Compleat Victory: Saratoga and the American Revolution (Oxford University Press\, 2021). The Chair of the judging committee for the Gilder Lehrman Military History Prize said this of the book: “The object of this prize has been to reward scholarly\, well-written\, accessible and ground-breaking military history\, and the judges had no hesitation in awarding this year’s award to Kevin Weddle’s masterly book. The judges were astonished at the way Weddle kept up the tension throughout\, despite everyone knowing the eventual outcome.” \nThe talk will be held in-person 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. Click here to register. \nThis event is hosted by the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society.

SUMMARY:Lecture – “The Disaffected: Britain’s Occupation of Philadelphia During the American Revolution”
DESCRIPTION:On Sunday\, September 18 at 1:30 PM\, join author Aaron Sullivan as he discusses his book The Disaffected. \nHe will explore the British occupation of Philadelphia\, chronicling the experiences of a group of people who were pursued\, pressured\, and at times persecuted\, not because they chose the wrong side of the Revolution but because they tried not to choose a side at all. For these people\, the war was neither a glorious cause to be won nor an unnatural rebellion to be suppressed\, but a dangerous and costly calamity to be navigated with care. Both the Patriots and the British referred to this group as “the disaffected\,” perceiving correctly that their defining feature was less loyalty to than a lack of support for either side in the dispute\, and denounced them as opportunistic\, apathetic\, or even treasonous. \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. Register on the DCNR website.
