SUMMARY:Newburyport's Road to Independence III: Loyalists\, Prisoners\, and the Homefront
DESCRIPTION:In 1776\, as war raged across the American colonies\, the clash of armies echoed far beyond the battlefield into everyday life in Newburyport. Historian and fan favorite Alex Cain invites you to step into a time where loyalists were persecuted\, British prisoners were confined\, and families struggled with soaring prices\, shortages\, and the constant shadow of loss from combat. At the same time\, privateer prizes poured into the harbor\, flooding the port with captured riches and stirring hope of fantastic opportunities. Through hardship and adversity alike\, Newburyport pressed on in its determined drive toward independence. \nAlex has authored numerous research articles and presentations on the American Revolution\, including the Battles of Lexington\, Concord\, and Bunker Hill\, the Siege of Boston\,Massachusetts privateers and the experiences of New England and New York loyalist refugees during the Burgoyne Campaign. In addition\, he has published two books: We Stood Our Ground: Lexington in the First Year of the American Revolution and I See Nothing but the Horrors of a Civil War: The Loyalists of McAlpin’s Corps of American Volunteers. He is also the creator of the blog and podcast Historical Nerdery (historicalnerdery.com). Currently\, he is in the process of writing his next book\, “For God’s Sake\, Fire!” – The Massachusetts Militia System on the Eve of the Battles of Lexington and Concord\, which is anticipated to be released in 2027. \n**NOTE: Please only sign up for the number of tickets you need based on a single membership.
