An Island called Eden: a talk by Adra Johnson

SECRETS AND LIES. Was Harman Blennerhassett just a naive Irish scholar caught up in something much bigger than him, or did he know exactly what he was doing? Lecturer Adra Johnson from the US will explain how the extraordinary story that began on one of America’s most ancient river islands ended ... on Guernsey. During America’s formative years, Harman and Margaret Blennerhassett were at the forefront of Aaron Burr’s alleged conspiracy to overrule America and start a new country. A talk by Adra Johnson, June 24, 7 p.m.: 'An Island called Eden' - tickets from the Priaulx Library #guernsey #guernseyhistory #history #rebellion
