Lecture Series
April 17, 2024, Robb Haberman: Writing in the Service of His Country: The Revolutionary War Memoir of James Selkirk
Haberman will discuss the manuscript memoir alongside a local patriot association, a regimental orderly book, and Selkirk’s own discharge papers. In doing so, he will show how these varied primary sources illuminate the political affiliations, wartime duties and post-war hardships of Selkirk, and how they also shed light on the collective experiences of enlisted soldiers who served in the New York Line during the Revolutionary conflict.
