Newtown Historic Association To Explore American Revolution During November Meeting

The November meeting of the Newtown Historic Association will be a “Grand Forage 1778: The Revolutionary War’s Forgotten Campaign” to be held Monday, Nov. 14 at 7:30 p.m. It will be presented by author Todd Braisted.

Braisted is a past president of the Bergen County Historical Society. He has authored over 40 journal articles and books on the American Revolution as well as appearing as a guest historian on such shows as PBS’s History Detectives and the CBC’s Who Do You Think You Are?

1778 marked a crucial period in the American Revolution. The French entry into the war forced the British to completely alter their strategy, having to both put down a rebellion and engage their traditional European rival. Grand Forage 1778 will examine the events surrounding this chaotic yet little studied period of the American Revolution.

No Reservations Needed. This will prove to be a very interesting and informative tour. For further information call 215-968-3914 or visit the NHA Website www.newtownhistoric.org.
