SUMMARY:Lecture - Founding Martyr: The Life and Death of Joseph Warren\, the American Revolution’s Lost Hero
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Joseph Warren\, a respected physician and architect of the Revolutionary movement\, was one of the most important figures in early American history—and might have gone on to lead the country had he not been killed at Bunker Hill in 1775. Warren was involved in almost every major protest against British policies in the Boston area for a decade\, from the Stamp Act protests to the Boston Massacre to the Boston Tea Party\, and his incendiary writings included the famous Suffolk Resolves\, which helped unite the colonies against Britain and inspired the Declaration of Independence. Yet after his death\, his memory faded\, leaving his contemporaries to rise to fame in his place\, obscuring his essential role in sparking American independence. Following Warren from his farming childhood and years at Harvard through his professional success and political radicalization to his role in sparking the rebellion\, Christian Di Spigna’s analysis not only restores Warren to his rightful place in the pantheon of Revolutionary greats\, it deepens our understanding of the nation’s dramatic beginnings. \nThis program accompanies the exhibition Saving Soldiers: Medical Practice in the Revolutionary War (April 1-November 27\, 2022). \nReservations are requested. All visitors to Anderson House age 5 and older are required to show proof of full vaccination against COVID-19\, and all visitors age 2 and older are required to wear a mask while attending a historical program or visiting the museum or library.
