SUMMARY:Author Talk @ the Library
DESCRIPTION:Historian Jon Kukla\, will deliver a lecture entitled “Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty.” \nPatrick Henry is remembered today mostly for one line from his speech: “Give me liberty or give me death.” This is a shame because he was one of the leading patriots of the Revolutionary era\, Virginia’s first governor after independence\, a powerful voice in the early republic\, and a great orator and statesman who played such a crucial role in shaping the course of Revolutionary Virginia’s history. In Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty\, Jon Kukla\, who has been studying Henry for years and has even lived on one of his former plantations\, restores Patrick Henry to the front rank of American Revolutionary patriots. \nJon Kukla has served as director of historical research and publishing at the Library of Virginia\, curator and then director of the Historic New Orleans Collection\, and as director of Red Hill\, The Patrick Henry National Memorial in Charlotte County. He is the author of A Wilderness So Immense: The Louisiana Purchase and the Destiny of America\, Mr. Jefferson’s Women\, and Patrick Henry: Champion of Liberty.

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.

SUMMARY:The Battle of Cricket Hill - A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:An exhibit celebrating the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding in the Mathews County area is titled “The Battle of Cricket Hill: A Pivotal American Revolutionary Engagement.” This exhibit will be launched by the Mathews Archives\, a collaboration between the Mathews County Historical Society and the Mathews Memorial Library. The exhibit will be open from July 1 to August 31.\nThe highlight of the display is an original clipping from the September 24\, 1776\, issue of the Leicester Journal\, a historic newspaper from Leicester\, England. The article details Lord Dunmore’s involvement in the Battle of Gwynn’s Island. This framed item\, displayed between panes of glass\, was a gift from Margaret Jones Perritt of Gloucester in July 1999 and is being showcased for the first time.\nOther components of the exhibit include a panel on Gwynn’s Island\, an account of the battle\, a copy of Thomas Jefferson’s map of the Gwynn’s Island/Milford Haven area\, a DAR artifact\, excerpts from Captain Thomas Posey’s diary detailing his participation in the battle\, and accounts of the battle’s aftermath. Additional materials related to the American Revolutionary War are also part of the exhibit\, which is located on the balcony of the library’s second floor.
