SUMMARY:Lecture – "Toasting the Tories:  The Doan Gang and Bucks County Taverns"
DESCRIPTION:We are pleased to welcome Clint Flack and Annie Halliday from the Mercer Museum\, part of the Bucks County Historical Society and home to one of the region’s most significant collections documenting everyday life in Bucks County and the Delaware Valley. Their work brings together material culture and local stories to help visitors understand how national events shaped daily life in our own communities. \nIn this engaging program\, they explore tavern culture in Revolutionary era Bucks County through the story of the infamous Doan Gang.  The program examines how taverns supported local economies and were critical to the spread of news and revolutionary ideas\, making them the perfect gathering places for members of the Doan Gang.  Tavern operator Augustine Willet\, who crossed the Delaware with Washington’s army\, will be highlighted. After the presentation visitors are invited to view some of Willet’s belongings\, on loan from the Mercer Museum\, in the park’s Exhibit Gallery. \nWashington Crossing Historic Park’s free lecture series is made possible by our General Level Supporter\, America250PA\, through the Lecture250 Grant Program.

SUMMARY:Book Club
DESCRIPTION:  \n \nThe Washington Crossing Historic Park Book Club invites history enthusiasts to explore the American Revolution through engaging discussion and carefully selected readings. Led by the park’s Museum Curator\, Kimberly McCarty\, the club meets virtually via Zoom and focuses on books that shed new light on the Revolutionary era\, with special emphasis on the events surrounding the Delaware River crossing and the 1776 campaign. Free and open to all\, meetings typically take place on the third Monday of each month and provide an opportunity to connect with fellow readers while deepening your understanding of this pivotal period in American history. \nThe fighting prowess of United States Marines is second to none\, but few know of the Corps’ humble beginnings and what it achieved during the early years of the American Revolution. Jason Bohm rectifies this oversight with his eye-opening Washington’s Marines: The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution\, 1775–1777. \nThe story begins with the oppressive days that drove America into a conflict for which it was ill-prepared\, when thirteen independent colonies commenced a war against the world’s most powerful military with nothing more than local militias\, privateers\, and other ad hoc units. The Continental Congress rushed to form an army and placed George Washington in command\, but soon realized that\, to win its freedom\, America would need men who could fight on the sea and on land. Enter the Marines. Bohm artfully tells the story of the creation of the Continental Marines and the men who led them during the parallel paths followed by the Army and Marines in the opening years of the war and through the early successes and failures at Lexington and Concord\, Bunker Hill\, Canada\, Boston\, Charleston\, and more. \nWashington’s Marines:  The Origins of the Corps and the American Revolution\, 1775-1777 \n\nSeptember 21 – Prologue – Chapter 3\nOctober 19 – Chapters 4-5\nNovember 16- Chapters 6-7\nDecember 21- Chapters 8-9\nJanuary 21- Chapter 10 – Appendix B\n\n
