SUMMARY:Jeffrey Zygmont: "America's Birth in Stirring Words"
DESCRIPTION:Patriots went to war to win freedom. Poets went to work to praise them\, and to express the spirit of independence and the valor that created our nation. Jeffrey will review some key battles of the American Revolution – the people\, the tactics and outcomes – and close each battle review with a historic poem that expresses the emotion and devotion of the soldiers. \n\nWe also get a look at 18th Century weapons\, camp practices\, home lives and backgrounds of soldiers. Physical props\, plus projections that show maps\, paintings and other illustrations\, make the factual\, historic aspects of the presentation easier to grasp and appreciate. Battles covered include Lexington and Concord\, Bunker Hill\, Trenton and others. Poems such as “Molly Maguire at Monmouth” and Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” bring the emotion of the conflicts to life. The program is an enjoyable balance between important events in America’s founding\, and the words they stirred. \n\nThis event will be held in the downstairs room of the library.
