What A Glorious Crash They Made: Musick of the Revolution in New England
Hear a collection of “New Songs” and Hymns published in New England during the American Revolution. From the time of the Stamp Act through the British surrender at Yorktown, New England’s seditious colonists used these works to foment rebellion, commemorate victory, and give thanks for preservation. Donohue will explore this fiery repertoire that in the words of John Adams “cultivated the sensations of Freedom.”

Nathanael Greene: Rhode Island’s Unsung Revolutionary War Hero
George Hail Free Library
Dr. Fred Zilian provided the following information about his presentation — “ Rhode Island’s own General Nathanael Greene does make the history books, but he is not given enough credit for his accomplishments in over two years as Quartermaster General heading the army’s logistical system, nor for the high esteem in which he was held by Commander in Chief George Washington. Giving him due credit, this lecture will examine his life before the war, his many contributions in the war, and his life thereafter.”
