(A) The Widow’s Campaign: December 1776 and Mount Holly’s Legacy in the Revolutionary War

A mysterious widow. A one-eyed Hessian. An army filled with teenagers. And a general with nothing to lose. Desperation, resolve and a bit of romance; these all factored into overcoming America’s darkest hour. 

Join author and historian of the American Revolutionary Period speak about his new book, “The Widow’s Campaign: December 1776 and Mount Holly’s Legacy in the Revolutionary War."
