Local Loyalists in the Battle of Bennington Reconsidered

Join us for a lecture by White Creek Town Historian Ted Rice. Mr. Rice has researched the lives of several inhabitants living near the site of the Battle of Bennington in 1777. Drawing from his original research, the lives of these men, some who fought and some who did not, will be placed in context. Why did some find British rule agreeable while others found it to be intolerable? From ardent royalists eager to put a stop to the chaos of rebellion to Quakers wrestling with their consciences and everything in between, these men came from all walks of life and had their lives touched by a battle fought on their doorstep.
