Reporting the Revolutionary War
A free program co-hosted by the Friends of Independence and The American Revolution Center
Two hundred years ago, during the American Revolution, real-time reporting helped unite colonists looking to break free from British rule. Colonial newspaper reports kept the colonists motivated and informed; without them, it's quite possible the revolution might not have happened.
For the first time, readers can experience the American Revolution as it was reported in Reporting the Revolutionary War: Before It Was History, It Was News. Author Todd Andrlik has compiled one of the most significant collections of colonial papers published between 1763 and 1783 and is among the nation's leading authorities on 18th-century newspapers.
Come to our free brown bag lunch event with a presentation from Todd Andrlik. Come for the program, stay for the Q & A!
Information:
Date: Friday,November 30, 2012
Time: 12:10 pm ( program will be approximately 30 minutes with Q&A)
Location: The American Revolution Center, 101 S. 3rd Street Philadelphia, Pa 19106
Cost: Free and please feel free to bring your lunch
Please RSVP here or call the Friends office at 215-861-4971 |
