W.BRENT BURGIN LUNCH AND LEARN LECTURE SERIES
“The Wartime Experiences of Rev. William Martin”
Robert Ryals, Public Historian and Reenactor,
The American Revolution includes anecdotal accounts of civilians persecuted for voicing criticism of British military actions. Rev. William Martin was one voice of dissent who su?ered the consequences and paid the price for his convictions. This informative and engaging program brings Martin’s experiences to life, demonstrating the value of anecdotal history, and how anecdotal accounts can be applied for understanding the war’s e?ect on civilians. This program was made possible through a grant awarded by the South Carolina Sestercentennial Commission (SC250) to the Lancaster County 250 Committee.
