· Community Room · Bellingham

Workshop / class

Presented by Steve Connolly: Come listen to the story of Deborah’s ancestors; learn about her military service in the Continental Army, including her disguises, enlistment, battles, and discharge. Share a glimpse into her personal life, and be inspired by her post-war activities, notably her pursuit of women’s equal rights, and meetings with Paul Revere for monetary compensation owed for her tour of duty. And hear about Deborah’s meetings with Herman Mann of Walpole, which contributed to her lasting autobiography, plus her Speaking tour to heal the post war nation of United States.
