For our next America250 Book Club, we will read “A Narrative of a Revolutionary Soldier” by Joseph Plumb Martin. This firsthand account from Martin, who was only 15 years old when he enlisted in the Connecticut Militia in 1776, gives a detailed & unique perspective on the American Revolution that is a must read for any history-minded person. Topics for discussion will include life in the army, the emotional impact of conflict, and some famous battles viewed from the ground level.

This program is only open to members of SCHS. To register and receive more information, including a list of meeting dates and the first reading assignment, please email Madeline at programs@schenectadyhistorical.org.
