Reporting the Revolutionary War features vivid eyewitness accounts, battlefield letters, and breaking news compiled from hundreds of newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic, starting with the Sugar Act of 1764 and spanning three decades through the war to President George Washington’s farewell address in 1796.

Essays from 37 historians and American Revolutionary experts guide the reader through the initial dissent of the Boston Tea Party to the battlefields of Lexington and Concord and Bunker Hill to independence. They also provide insight on how newspaper accounts impacted each step of the revolution.

Join the American Revolution Center and the Friends of Independence National Historical Park as we invite Todd Andrlik to speak on his new book and his newspaper collection.  This is a Brown Bag Lunch program so please feel free to bring your lunch with you. The actual program will begin at 12:10 pm and will be approximately 30 minutes with a Q&A afterwards.

This program is completely free but we do ask that you register since space is limited.
