1774 and All That: Reflections on a Long Year of Revolution
September 19, 2024 at 7:00 PM – 8:00 PM
One of the most acclaimed and original colonial historians of our time, Mary Beth Norton, shares her landmark text 1774: The Long Year of Revolution chronicling the revolutionary changes that occurred from December 1773 to April 1775—from the Boston Tea Party to the Battles of Lexington and Concord. In those 16 months, colonists loyal to King George III began discordant “discussions” that led to their acceptance of the inevitability of war. Professor Norton will be joined in conversation to bring to life this foundational moment in American history.
1774: The Long Year of Revolution by Mary Beth Norton is the winner of the George Washington Prize (sponsored by Mt. Vernon, Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, and Washington College) as the best book on the revolutionary era published in 2020 and was named a best book of the year by The Wall Street Journal.
Mary Beth Norton is the Mary Donlan Alger Professor of American History Emerita & Stephen H. Weiss Presidential Fellow at Cornell University.
Co-sponsored by the Society of Colonial Wars in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts
