"Redcoat & Rebels: New Hampshire and the American Revolution", a presentation by Mary Adams. This program is made possible by New Hampshire Humanities

New Hampshire often gets overlooked in the narrative of the American Revolution, overshadowed by its noisy neighbor to the south. Nowadays, few people know about Paul Revere's first ride, which was to Portsmouth in December 1774 to warn the patriots that the British were coming to reinforce Fort William and Mary, five months before the Redcoats marched on Concord and Lexington. Nor do they know that two-thirds of the troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill were from New Hampshire. This is just the beginning of New Hampshire's revolutionary story.

This program is offered by the Stratham Historical Society and the Wiggin Memorial Library. It is FREE and OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. LOCATION: Stratham Municipal Center, Meeting Room A (Sewall Room), 10 Bunker Hill, Stratham.
