Join the Frontier Culture Museum and Michael Cecere in this lecture as he looks at a number of participants in Dunmore’s War and discuss their service during the Revolutionary War in the following decade.
About the Speaker:
Michael Cecere is a retired History teacher who resides in Williamsburg, Virginia with his wife, Susan. Originally from Maine, he taught high school and college level American History for thirty years in Fairfax County and Gloucester County, Virginia. The author of twenty-five books and numerous articles on the American Revolution and Revolutionary War, he continues to research and write in retirement. His most recent book, entitled, Witness to Victory is the final installment of a trilogy of historical fiction that he wrote with his daughter, Jennifer. The three books explore the American Revolution and War over ten years through the eyes of three children who live in Williamsburg. Mr. Cecere’s next book, Spark of Independence: The American Revolution in the Northern Colonies, 1775-1776, is scheduled to be released in November. It will complete a trilogy of writing Mr. Cecere did on the events that occurred in the southern, middle, and northern colonies from the start of the war in 1775 through independence in 1776.
When he is not writing, Mr. Cecere volunteers and works at Colonial Williamsburg sometimes as a tobacco farmer, other times as a soldier or a colonial dancer. He also participates in Revolutionary War reenactments throughout the east coast and lectures at historic sites and historical societies.
