Troiani Rees

The Princeton Battlefield Society (PBS) and Morven Museum & Garden (Morven) announced  that Morven will host the PBS Cadwalader Lecture featuring local author and historian John Rees, at Morven on February 27th . Rees will discuss the largely unknown and under-appreciated role Black soldiers played in the fight for Independence at Princeton and the American Revolution.

Mr. Rees, of New Hope, has been writing for almost 40 years on the experiences of common soldiers and women in the armies of the American Revolution; his  most recent  book, released in January, is Don Troiani’s Black Soldiers in America’s Wars, 1754-1865, which combines Rees’s narrative and captions with Troiani’s paintings.
