To kick-off our 9-week series to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence, we are thrilled to welcome author and historian Lars D. H. Hedbor to discuss his book, The Convention: Tales From a Revolution, which centers on the Convention Army, captured at Saratoga, and initially marched across to Cambridge. While there awaiting release, some of the captives were essentially leased out to local farmers as laborers, and it is that fascinating institution that Lars explores through the eyes of one such captive. The Convention is the Massachusetts volume of the Tales From a Revolution series, in which each standalone novel examines the American War of Independence as it unfolded in a different colony. If you like exploring familiar history from unfamiliar viewpoints, you’ll love The Convention. Registration is required for this VIRTUAL program on Monday, August 3 at 7 pm.
