From Revolution to Rebellion: One Family's American Story
Advertisement
Join us on the evening of July 1 as we blend America250 and the Battle of Gettysburg 163rd Anniversary with an engaging conversation with a descendant of some of the nation's most remarkable figures, including Revolutionary War patriot William Dawes and Civil War hero Rufus Dawes. Blending family stories, historical insight, and a touch of humor, this special presentation offers a unique perspective on the people who helped shape the American story.
This is a FREE event.
Arrive at 6:00 for a pre-program reception, stay for the Q&A, and explore how the legacy of these extraordinary Americans continues to resonate 250 years later.

William “Bill” Dawes Schulz is a former cable news correspondent/co-host, and longtime contributor for the New York Times, New York magazine, The Daily Beast, Maxim, New York Daily News, Reader’s Digest, and more.
Bill is also a licensed NYC Tour Guide, (of which he covered as an editor at Entrepreneur magazine). Schulz currently helms local adventures with Bowery Boys Walks and is starting his own traipsing-whilst-talking trifle via Knicker Walker Tours.
Bill is a direct descendant of the oft-overlooked midnight rider, William Dawes Jr, a 3rd great-grandson of Gettysburg hero Lt. Col. Rufus Dawes, and 2nd great-grandnephew of former Vice President and delightful songwriter, Charles Gates Dawes. This history-based descendant intends to explore his ancestors' pop culture appearances, plus relaying attempts to be their ONLY publicist when it comes to keeping the family name alive.
