SUMMARY:Battle of Cricket Hill Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sons of the American Revolution\, Richard Henry Lee Chapter\, for the Cricket Hill Ceremony\, promptly at 10 am.  \nOn July 8\, 1776\, Gen. Andrew Lewis and Virginia militia established an artillery battery at Fort Cricket Hill to attack Lord Dunmore’s camp on Gwynn’s Island. Without boats\, Lewis was unable to launch a land attack on Dunmore’s camp.  Instead\, Lewis used an artillery barrage from Fort Cricket Hill to attack Dunmore’s camp and ships on July 9.  Dunmore and his troops retreated from Gwynn’s Island that night. \nThis engagement marked the end of royal authority in Virginia when Gov. Dunmore abandoned Gwynn’s Island and Virginia for the safety of naval vessels and Maryland. The established government effectively ceased to exist\, and the revolutionaries filled the vacuum. The battle also marked the end of combat in Virginia for about three years\, as the war for independence became concentrated\, like the British army\, in the northern colonies.

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.
