Just days after the battles of Lexington and Concord, Royal Governor Dunmore ordered the removal of gunpowder from the Williamsburg magazine to a Royal Navy ship. This sparked militia units to mobilize under Patrick Henry to demand the powder’s return.

Neville will tell the story of Dunmore (now Shenandoah) County’s revolutionary committee, its volunteers who rallied to Henry’s call, and how it all ended with a barbecue.
