Dr. Robert Smith, the former Director of the Fort Riley Museum Complex, will present a program that will focus on the evolution of the American Revolutionary War Soldier from that of a hastily organized militiaman to a well-trained and efficient Continental Soldier.
Dr. Smith has a Masters Degree in history from the University of Nebraska and a Ph.D from Kansas State University. Before his retirement in 2024, he directed the complete remodel of both the U.S. Cavalry and the 1st Infantry Division Museums at Fort Riley.
This event is free and open to the public.
