We're thrilled to welcome historian Bruce E. Mowday to our virtual stage. He'll be discussing the common soldier at Valley Forge with a strong New England connection, Connecticut’s own Joseph Plum Martin and his diary. He wrote about the condition of American troops and Lafayette’s (who celebrated the last two years in New England) review of his troops is recognized. We hope you can join us for this fascinating conversation!
