Reluctant Witness: Nicholas Cresswell Views the Revolution from Loudoun, 1774-1777

About

Nicholas Cresswell, a young Englishman who traveled in America from 1774–1777, kept a journal that has long been a key primary source about the American Revolution. What can we learn from his observations about society, politics, religion, and even roadways? Join us for an evening with Mr. Cresswell himself, as two local public historians set the stage and introduce the audience to this reluctant witness of the Revolution.
