New Haven Museum Lecture- CT Militia: The Defense of New Haven

Author and historian Robert A. Geake appeared in the uniform of a continental soldier to present a rarely heard story of courage and tenacity during “CT Militia: The Defense of New Haven,” at the Pardee-Morris House —which was torched by Redcoats and later rebuilt by the Morris family. Geake’s presentation will be based on his book, “New England Citizen Soldiers of the Revolutionary War: Minutemen and Mariners.” While many leaders and heroes of the American Revolution are renowned, lesser known are the ordinary citizen soldiers who united in the cause for freedom and struggled to balance their loyalty to their home state, their property, and families.
