Saturday, March 30 - Westfield, Union County
"The War in the Westfield Area - Retreating Redcoats Ravage the Countryside"
At the Westfield Public Library, on Saturday at 2:00 pm, Robert A. Mayers will present "The War in the Westfield Area - Retreating Redcoats Ravage the Countryside” based on his new book, Revolutionary New Jersey: Forgotten Towns and Crossroads of the American Revolution.
Mayers thrives on discovering facts about the American Revolution not found in works of earlier writers. The descendant of Patriot soldier, Corporal John Allison, the American Revolution is personal to him.
Visits to Revolutionary War sites, combined with research into original documents and oral accounts, help Mayers bring history alive. His audiences comment that they regret having tuned out history when they were in school. Mayers' presentations are for everyone--not just hardcore history buffs.
Mayers is an active member of ten historical societies and a frequent contributor to their publications. His service as a combat officer in both the Navy and the Marine Corps provides him with a deeper perspective into battles depicted in his work. Mayers is a graduate of Rutgers University and served as an adjunct professor at Seton Hall University
Mayers published books include The War Man, the biography of a soldier, who fought all eight years of the Revolutionary War, The Forgotten Revolution, and Searching for Private Yankee Doodle – Washington’s Soldiers. For more information, visit www.revolutionarydetective.com.
Admission to the presentation is free. The Westfield Public Library is located at 550 E. Broad Street, Westfield NJ.
