SUMMARY:The Virginia Campaign of 1775: Great Bridge & Removing Dunmore
DESCRIPTION:Join the Mathews VA250 Committee for a lecture with author and military historian Patrick Hannum\, featuring information on The Virginia Campaign of 1775: Great Bridge and Removing Dumore! \nThe political-military operating environment in Virginia during 1775 evolved quickly and dramatically. Two days after the clash at Lexington and Concord\, Lord Dunmore\, Virginia’s last royal colonial governor\, seized the powder from the public magazine in Williamsburg. This set off a series of events that led to multiple military clashes on Virginia soil. During December\, Patriots bloodied Dunmore’s regulars and Loyalist militia at Great Bridge in modern Chesapeake\, Virginia. The year ended with the newly formed Patriot army in control of the critical port city of Norfolk under command of a Continental officer from North Carolina. Providing context for these events allows for an appreciation of the military operations that follow and Virginia’s role in leading the movement for independence.  \nThe event is free and open to the public\, with refreshments provided.
