1776: BRITAIN'S LOSING STRATEGY ON A MAP

If a picture is worth a thousand words, this map from the Hunterdon County Historical Society is worth at LEAST that much! Showing the “Northern Theater of the Revolution”, it is easy to see what the Crown forces hoped, but failed, to achieve. Instead of ending the War for Independence, Crown forces suffered multiple defeats that some say resulted in the entry of their long-time historical rival, the Kingdom of France, in the Revolution thus opening a global war for dominance. Historian and Hunterdon County Historical Society board member John Allen will present this fascinating look at war strategy. 7pm. Hunterdon County Library Main Branch, Route 12, Flemington, NJ. Free with free refreshments following. Reservations required.
