FOMB 2nd Sunday Lecture: American Artillery in Action at Monmouth

This lecture will present the results of a new study of the structure and role of the American artillery units at Monmouth. Much of the course of the battle was dictated by where and when artillery units were posted. Significant artillery actions and commanders will be presented, including the important role of the head American Artillery officer, Major General Henry Knox, in the battle. The different types of cannons used will also be discussed.

This program will be presented by award winning author and Friends of Monmouth Battlefield President, Dr. David Martin. Dr. Martin is the author of over 20 books on the Revolutionary War and Civil War, including two award-winning books on Gettysburg. He is also the author of “A Molly Pitcher Sourcebook” (2003),

Join us at 2:00 PM in the Visitor Center auditorium at Monmouth Battlefield State Park, 20 State Route 33, Manalapan, NJ. The lecture is open to the public and admission is free. For further information: ZnJpZW5kc29mbW9ubW91dGggfCBnbWFpbCAhIGNvbQ==
