Historic Waynesborough Speaker Series: Gary Ecelbarger
November 20 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
$15
The Battle of the Clouds
Join historian and author Gary Ecelbarger at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20, for a new and fascinating look at the Revolutionary War battle that nobody won and which hardly happened at all.
This tale of wet gunpowder, muddy roads, and missed chances still fascinates military scholars and history buffs alike. What really happened the day the Continental Army and the British redcoats stared each other down from two opposing hillsides outside of Paoli?
Ecelbarger has written 10 books and dozens of essays and articles on the American Revolution, the American Civil War, and a host of 18th- and 19th-century personalities and events. His latest book, George Washington’s Momentous Year: Twelve Months that Transformed the Revolution, features the Philadelphia Campaign, the months-long push by the British Army to take over the colonial capital.
Admission is $15 at the door or online at www.philalandmarks.org. Historic Waynesborough is at 2049 Waynesborough Rd. in Paoli, Pa.
