Far Hills Speaker Series: Shot Heard Round The World 19 April 1775; Local Impact and Local Heroes

Their families originated from England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany and more. They fought in a cause that took them from New England to Virginia, the Southern Campaign of General Greene and the battlefields that brought forth the United States of America. Veterans of Valley Forge, Brandywine, and Yorktown lie at rest in Montgomery County, a county named after General Montgomery of the Continental Army, and adjacent to Greene County, after another Continental General, Nathaniel Greene.

This talk looks at those veterans, their links to Montgomery County, Oakwood, and Centerville, and their roles in the war that changed the Continent. It aims to put some context into the incredible sacrifices and achievements of those individuals and bring to the fore anecdotes on their road to Ohio.

Presented by Andrew Lloyd.
