SUMMARY:Lunch Bite—A Portrait of Andrew Wallace\, the "Rescuer of Lafayette" at Brandywine
DESCRIPTION:Historical Programs Manager Andrew Outten discusses a portrait of Revolutionary War veteran Andrew Wallace of the Fifth Pennsylvania Regiment\, painted by John Neagle in 1831. According to his 1833 pension letter and other contemporary accounts\, Wallace had a seemingly fascinating career throughout the Revolution. Having allegedly served as a sergeant from 1776 through the end of the war\, Wallace claimed to have participated in nearly every major battle and campaign\, along with carrying out other heroic feats such as aiding the marquis de Lafayette on the battlefield after he was wounded at the Battle of Brandywine. This presentation will examine the validity of Wallace’s claimed service during the American Revolution—including his claim to have aided Lafayette—along with the significance of his 1831 portrait in the context of memorializing the Revolution. \nThis program accompanies our current exhibition\, Fete Lafayette: A French Hero’s Tour of the American Republic\, on view through December 31\, 2024. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the author’s talk in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate link below. \nRegister to Attend the Lecture at Anderson House \nRegister to Attend the Lecture Virtually \n
