    Fairfield University Announcement www.fairfield.edu

    Katherine Hermes, Ph.D., J.D., publisher of Connecticut Explored magazine and Professor of History, Emerita, at Central Connecticut State University, will deliver a talk, “Forgotten Voices of the Revolutionary War: People of Color and the Redding Encampment, 1778-1779,” Monday, October 16, at 5 p.m. in the Kelley Center, sponsored by the History Department.

    Dr. Hermes worked as part of a team of scholars and media specialists researching the lives of “forgotten voices” from the Revolutionary War winter encampment at what is now Putnam Memorial State Park, in Redding, CT. She will highlight the lives of soldiers like Daniel Mossock, a Tunxis tribal member from Farmington, Jack Arrabus, an African American soldier from New Haven who sued for his freedom, and Judith Lines, a widowed Indigenous and African American camp follower from Windham who received her own pension after the war.

    This talk derives from a National Park Service Battlefield Interpretation grant awarded to CRIS Radio- Connecticut Radio Information System, a 43-year-old nonprofit radio-reading service, to create an accessible smartphone audio tour of the Revolutionary War winter encampment. crisaccess.org/forgotten-voices-of-the.../
    In addition to the CRIS Radio audio production team, the project included archaeologists, anthropologists, historians, archivists, and graduate students who researched the roles of soldiers of color, and the civilian women, Native Americans, and African Americans who helped the soldiers survive the harsh winter of 1778-79 at the site.
    For more information contact, Dr. Patricia Behre at pbehre@fairfield.edu
