Don Hagist, author and managing editor of Journal of the American Revolution will speak on this often misinterpreted role of women, as they accompanied their soldier husbands to the Colonies during the American Revolution. Come hear the surprising portraits of women who lived and worked within the British garrisons and encampments. Don will also be available for book signing. Cost is $10 per person. 778 Palisado Ave., Windsor. Sponsored by the Abigail Wolcott Ellsworth Chapter, DAR. Email: matthies@ctdar.org for reservations, or purchase tickets at the door.
