About

Fredericksburg's own Hugh Mercer rose quickly in the Continental Army, becoming a brigadier general by late 1776. He played a pivotal role in the winter campaign at Trenton and Princeton, where he was mortally wounded by British bayonets-making him one of the earliest and highest-ranking martyrs for American independence. Historian and author, Mark Maloy, will delve into this dramatic campaign and Mercer’s final days. Attendees will have the opportunity to purchase signed copies of the book "Victory or Death: The Battles of Trenton and Princeton".
