“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.

“Cold Mountain Field Notes”
Dr. Christopher Bundrick, USC Lancaster Professor of English,
, In August of 1997, Charles Frazier's "Cold Mountain" became the number one bestselling book on The New York Times fiction list—a place it occupied for many weeks. Critics raved about its evocative language, its complex take on historical context, its echoes of Homer's Odyssey, but most of all its immersive realism.
Follow along as Dr. Bundrick discusses his attempt to rediscover aspects of Frazier's work, immersing himself in the story by recreating parts of the three hundred-mile walk the narrator's made from Raleigh to Cold Mountain, North Carolina.
This program will be held virtually and in person at 119 South Main St. in downtown Lancaster.
