O’Donnell launches and discusses his newest book that vividly brings to life the exploits of Washington’s finest frontier commandos\, whose legendary deadeye shooting offered the Continental Army an evolving and unconventional tactical advantage throughout the American Revolution. Drawing from the book\, along with unpublished letters\, diaries\, and other participant documents\, this talk illuminates the importance of these lesser-known soldiers of the Revolution and sheds light on how their fighting style emerged as a new way of war and helped achieve American independence. \nRegistration is requested.

Arriving in Newport in July 1780\, Rochambeau’s soldiers stepped into a brave new world whose societal norms and modes of social interaction differed radically from their own. Rochambeau’s soldiers knew almost nothing about America and its people\, and what they thought they knew were preconceptions based on ideals of the Enlightenment. Getting to know their ally proceeded through a slow and sometimes painful educational process as few Americans had ever previously met Frenchmen. American expectations of the new ally had grown over decades of anti-French and anti-Catholic propaganda\, often causing them to view French soldiers more as an old enemy rather than a new friend. Drawing from extensive research of primary source materials\, this talk examines the moments when mutual prejudices and preconceptions encountered reality and how Frenchmen\, or Americans\, reacted to personal encounters that proved\, or disproved\, what they had expected. This program accompanies our current exhibition\, Voices of Revolution\, on view through January 10\, 2027. \nRegistration is requested.

While brief\, Gálvez’s campaign was tremendously impactful and yet it is often over-looked. Drawing from newly discovered primary source materials\, this program highlights Gálvez’s campaign through an examination of terrain and weather difficulties\, logistical challenges and British fortified positions\, and its overall significance in paving the way for the more well-known operations against Mobile and Pensacola.

Benedict Arnold and fought the British Royal Navy in the Battle of Valcour Island on Lake Champlain\, on October 11\, 1776. In 1935\, a diver searching Lake Champlain located the wreckage and miraculously found the warship standing upright and nearly intact. Soon after\, the wreck was raised and salvaged before it was bequeathed to the Smithonian Institution\, where it has remained in its collections since 1961. Recently\, a major conservation effort has been underway to preserve the iconic vessel. Drawing from new research surrounding the vessel and their experiences with the conservation project\, Cohen and Jones explore the vessels role in the Battle of Valcour Island\, new discoveries\, and the significance and challenges of its conservation. \nRegistration is requested.
