The Brentwood Historical Society is set to host a presentation titled “Redcoats & Rebels” on November 9, 2023. The event features Mary Adams from the New Hampshire Historical Society, who will delve into pivotal yet often overlooked events involving New Hampshire patriots during the American Revolution.
Adams will highlight significant moments that shaped the struggle for independence, including a lesser-known ride by Paul Revere to Portsmouth long before the famous confrontations at Concord and Lexington. The presentation will also shed light on the fact that approximately two-thirds of the troops at the Battle of Bunker Hill hailed from New Hampshire, underscoring the state’s critical role in the conflict.
This engaging historical recounting promises to reveal numerous facts that may have been forgotten or unknown to many attendees. The event aims to enrich the community’s understanding of its historical roots and the contributions of local figures during this pivotal period.
Those interested in attending are encouraged to visit the Brentwood Historical Society’s official website for more information. The presentation is expected to attract history enthusiasts and those keen on learning about the rich tapestry of New Hampshire’s involvement in the American Revolution.
