Only three weeks are left to register for the “Road to Revolution” Seminar on November 6-7! Emerging Revolutionary War is excited to partner with Fort Ligonier for this seminar focusing on the early years of the Revolutionary War and connections to the French and Indian War in western Pennsylvania. Saturday’s speaker lineup includes ERW’s very own Dan Welch, as well as renowned authors Michael Harris, Kevin Weddle, and other great presenters. More information about the event and how to register can be found here. We hope to see you there!
For the past few weeks, Emerging Revolutionary War has, naturally, centered our “Rev War Revelry” on topics associated with the American Revolution. However, our blog is dedicated to the the Revolutionary era and so to live up to that name, our historian happy hour will focus on George Washington, the French and Indian War, and the frontier, especially Western Pennsylvania, and see where the conversation goes from there.
This week, ERW historians will be joined by Dr. Walter Powell, who has been the president of the Braddock Road Preservation Association for the past 30 years and has been very active in French and Indian War events.
Joining Dr. Powell as a guest is John Miller, the Operations Director for Monterey Pass Museum and Battlefield ans the Executive Director of Shippensburg (PA) Historical Soceity.
We look forward to you joining Emerging Revolutionary War on our Facebook page at 7pm EST this Sunday. Along with your favorite beverage, remember to bring with your questions and comments as we embark on this sojourn to the French and Indian War in a history happy hour!
