SUMMARY:Lecture—Rebels at Sea: Privateering in the American Revolution - DC
DESCRIPTION:Independent historian Eric Jay Dolin explores American privateers during the American Revolution. The heroic story of the founding of the U.S. Navy during the Revolution has been told before\, yet missing from most maritime histories of the war is the ragtag fleet of private vessels that truly revealed the new nation’s character―above all\, its ambition and entrepreneurial ethos. Drawing from his research\, Dolin corrects that significant omission and contends that privateers\, though often seen as profiteers at best and pirates at worst\, were in fact critical to the Revolution’s outcome. This program accompanies our exhibition Voices of Revolution\, on view from February 28\, 2026\, through January 10\, 2027. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the lecture in-person\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate links below. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND THE AUTHOR’S TALK AT ANDERSON HOUSE\nREGISTER TO ATTEND THE AUTHOR’S TALK VIRTUALLY\nAbout the Speaker\nEric Jay Dolin is an independent historian and the author of seventeen books\, including Leviathan: The History of Whaling in America (W.W. Norton & Company\, 2008); Black Flags\, Blue Waters: The Epic History of America’s Most Notorious Pirates (Liveright\, 2019); and A Furious Sky: The Five-Hundred-Year History of America’s Hurricanes (Liveright\, 2021).

SUMMARY:Author’s Talk—The Home Front: Revolutionary Households\, Military Occupation\, and the Making of American Independence - DC
DESCRIPTION:Historian Lauren Duval of the University of Oklahoma discusses her new book that vividly captures daily life during the American Revolution through the eyes and ears of those who intimately experienced it. Prior to the conflict\, the urban centers of colonial North America had little direct experience of war. With the outbreak of violence\, British forces occupied every major city\, invading the most private of spaces: the home. Drawing from the new book\, this talk considers the dynamics of the household—how people moved within it\, thought about it\, and wielded power over it—revealing the ways in which occupation fundamentally upended the structures of colonial society and created opportunities for unprecedented economic and social mobility. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the author’s talk in-person\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate link below. \nREGISTER TO ATTEND THE AUTHOR’S TALK AT ANDERSON HOUSE\nREGISTER TO ATTEND THE AUTHOR’S TALK VIRTUALLY\nAbout the Speaker:\nLauren Duval is an assistant professor of history at the University of Oklahoma\, where she teaches courses on colonial North America and the Atlantic World\, the American Revolution and early American women’s and gender history.

Dr. Duval earned her Ph.D. from American University in Washington\, D.C. In 2018\, her article “Mastering Charleston: Property and Patriarchy in British-Occupied Charleston\, 1780-82” published in the William and Mary Quarterly received the journal’s annual Richard L.

SUMMARY:Author's Talk  Glorious Lessons: John Trumbull\, Painter of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:John Trumbull experienced the American Revolution firsthand by serving as an aid to American generals George Washington and Horatio Gates and being jailed as a spy. Throughout his wartime experience\, he made it his mission to record the conflict\, giving visual form to the great and unprecedented political experiment for the citizens of the newly formed United States. Although Trumbull’s contemporaries viewed him as a painter\, Trumbull thought of himself as a historian. Drawing on his new book\, historian and biographer Richard Brookhiser focuses our attention on the complicated life and legacy of Trumbull\, whose paintings portrayed both the struggle and principles that distinguished America’s founding moment. \nRegistration is requested.

SUMMARY:A Hero of Two Worlds: The Marquis de Lafayette in the Age of Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Few in history can match the revolutionary career of the marquis de Lafayette. For over fifty incredible years at the heart of the Age of Revolution\, he fought courageously on both sides of the Atlantic as a soldier\, statesman\, idealist\, and abolitionist. As a teenager\, Lafayette ran away from France to join the American Revolution. Returning home a national hero\, he helped launch the French Revolution\, eventually spending five years locked in an Austrian prison. After his release\, Lafayette sparred with Napoleon\, joined an underground conspiracy to overthrow King Louis XVIII\, and became an international symbol of liberty. Historian and best-selling author Mike Duncan discusses the remarkable life of the marquis de Lafayette and the thrilling story of his lifelong quest to defend the principles of liberty and equality. \nThis program accompanies the American Revolution Institute’s current exhibition\, Fete Lafayette: A French Hero’s Tour of the American Republic\, on view through December 31\, 2024. \nFollow this link to learn more and register now! \n  \nAbout the Speaker \nMike Duncan is one of the foremost history podcasters in the world.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Lecture - The Surveyor's Eyes: Mapping Empire in the Era of the American Revolution
DESCRIPTION:The Surveyor’s Eyes: Mapping Empire in the Era of the American Revolution\nThursday\, April 13\, 2023\n6:30 P.M. ET\nAnderson House | Free Admission\n\nPrior to the outbreak of war in 1775\, British surveyors came to North America and the West Indies in unprecedented numbers. Their images of coastlines\, forts\, and frontiers helped win the French and Indian War and pictured a triumphant British Atlantic world. The American Revolution shattered this vision of peace\, commerce\, and settlement. Once tasked to promote an expansive American empire\, wartime mapmakers applied their knowledge to make war on American colonists. Dr. Max Edelson\, professor of history at the University of Virginia\, describes the importance of survey knowledge in maps from empire to independence.This lecture will be held in-person at Anderson House and last approximately 45 minutes. Registration is requested.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Author's Talk - The Wandering Army: The Campaigns that Transformed the British Way of War
DESCRIPTION: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Wandering Army: The Campaigns that Transformed the British Way of War\nTuesday\, March 21\, 2023\n6:30 P.M. ET\nAnderson House | Free Admission \nIn 1774\, Gen. Henry Clinton embarked on a “martial grand tour\,” visiting the battlefields of Europe with his friend\, the military theorist Henry Lloyd. What the two observed on their travels would change the British approach to the war that broke out in North America the following year. From his practical and theoretical study of military history Clinton had concluded that battles should only be fought when decisive political objectives could be achieved\, but he instead realized that armies should be used to maneuver their adversaries into positions of disadvantage. For his beliefs\, Clinton found himself in direct conflict with his superiors during the early stages of the American Revolutionary War\, but when he assumed command in 1778\, he found himself bereft of the resources needed to execute such complex campaigns of maneuver. The resulting strategic defeats and the loss of the American colonies appeared to prove Clinton’s approach wrong\, but in the years following the Revolutionary War\, the British learned much from their experiences which caused gradual and distinct changes in the British way of war. Drawn from his research using archival sources housed in the Society of the Cincinnati’s library collections as one of our 2019 fellows\, historian Huw Davies challenges the existing consensus that the eighteenth-century British army was an amateur and unprofessional organization while demonstrating that its officers and soldiers took the profession of arms seriously. \nThis talk will be held in-person at Anderson House and will last approximately 45 minutes. Registration is requested.

SUMMARY:Upcoming Lecture - François-Jean de Chastellux and American Independence
DESCRIPTION:François-Jean de Chastellux and American Independence\nThursday\, March 2\, 2023\n6:30 P.M. EST\nAnderson House | Free Admission \nFrançois-Jean Chastellux\, a major general in the French army\, member of the Society of the Cincinnati\, and cousin of the marquis de Lafayette\, played a central role in the Franco-American alliance during the Revolutionary War. Recently\, a collection of more than four thousand pages of Chastellux’s private papers were discovered at his estate in Burgundy\, France\, by historian Dr. Iris De Rode. Drawing from her discovery and other primary sources—including the first edition of his travel diary\, a first edition book on the advantages of the discovery of America for Europe\, a “Military order” (“George Washington\, extrait de l’ordre du 20 octobre 1781”)\, a letter by the hand of Chastellux to “a member of a learned society\,” and a letter written by George Washington to Chastellux housed in the Society of the Cincinnati’s library collections—Dr. De Rode discusses Chastellux’s important involvement during and after the Revolution through his military\, intellectual\, scientific\, commercial\, and political exchanges. \nThis lecture will be held in-person at Anderson House and will last approximately 45 minutes. Registration is requested.

SUMMARY:Lecture – In League with Liberty: The Persistence of Patriots of Color and the Formation of the First Rhode Island Regiment of the Continental Army
DESCRIPTION:As states struggled to fill enlistment quotas in late 1777\, the Rhode Island General Assembly\, drawing from a proposal from Rhode Island general James Varnum\, voted to allow the enlistments of indentured servants\, indigenous peoples and former slaves. With that\, the First Rhode Island Regiment\, known as “the black regiment\,” was formed. Although met with controversy\, the regiment fought with distinction in various battles during the Revolutionary War. To mark the anniversary of an important vote on February 14\, 1778\, in the Rhode Island general assembly that allowed African Americans and Indigenous peoples to enlist for service\, historian Robert A. Geake discusses the important story of the “black regiment\,” from its formation\, heroism and misfortune\, to the legacy left by those who enlisted to earn their freedom. \nRegistration is requested. To attend the lecture in-person at Anderson House\, or to watch virtually\, please use the appropriate link below.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nRobert A. Geake is a public historian and the author of fourteen books on Rhode Island and New England history\, including From Slaves to Soldiers: The First Rhode Island Regiment in the American Revolution (Westholme Publishing\, 2016). His other books include A History of the Narragansett Tribe: Keepers of the Bay\, Native and New Americans (The History Press\, 2011) and New England’s Citizen Soldiers: Mariners and Minutemen (The History Press\, 2019). Mr. Geake currently serves as the president of The Cocumscussoc Association\, an organization that maintains Smith’s Castle historic house museum in North Kingstown\, R.I.\, and also serves on the advisory board of the Rhode Island Slave History Medallion project. \n  \nClick here to register for the lecture virtually! \nOr follow this link and fill out the RSVP form at the bottom of the page to register for in-person attendance at the Anderson House! \n

SUMMARY:French Marquis\, Yorktown Victor\, Spanish Grandee: Claude-Anne de Rouvoy\, marquis de Saint-Simon
DESCRIPTION:Historian Robert Selig explores the dramatic life of Claude-Anne de Rouvroy\, marquis de Saint-Simon-Montbléru\, and his role in the Siege of Yorktown\, which occurred 238 years ago this month. Though almost entirely forgotten in the United States\, Saint-Simon commanded more than three thousand French troops at Yorktown and was the highest ranking officer wounded during the siege. Based on recently discovered primary sources—including the journal of Jean-Baptiste Gérard Dupleix de Cadignan\, lieutenant colonel in the Agenois Regiment under Saint-Simon’s command\, in the Institute’s collections—the talk will focus on the crucial role Saint-Simon’s forces played during the weeks prior to the arrival of the combined American-French army commanded by Generals Washington and Rochambeau on September 26\, 1781\, and the beginning of the siege of Yorktown two days later. This lecture coincides with the exhibition Revolutionary Reflections: French Memories of the War for America \, which features a portrait of Saint-Simon by Vicente López y Portaña from the Institute’s collections and the general’s manuscript journal of his service in America generously lent by Comte Patrick de Rouvroy de Saint Simon. \nThe lecture will be approximately one hour.

SUMMARY:Robert Selig on Of Skull\, Severed Heads and Skeletons: Battlefield Clean-up during the American War of Independence
DESCRIPTION:Battlefield clean-up is a topic rarely covered by modern historians yet following almost any military engagement\, there are corpses to dispose of. Who does that? Can we tell who buried whom? When? How many hours\, days\, months later? Where? Individually or in mass graves? In natural crevices? Lakes? Naked or dressed? Officers and other ranks together or separate? How long do they remain in the ground? Are they ever found? Who would dig them up and why? Can we identify them? What happens with the skeletons? This talk will address these and related questions. \n
