Over Here Molly Pitcher

The Historical Society of Chatham Township and the Chatham Historical Society

invites the public to a joint program entitled "Over Here, Molly Pitcher".

A dramatic presentation by historical interpreter Stacy Roth highlights the lives of women who "belonged to the army" during the American Revolution.  "Molly" reminisces about the days when she accompanied her husband through summer battles and winter encampments from Valley Forge to Monmouth to Morristown.  Relating her tales of firing a cannon in the heat of battle to trudging "behind the baggage", to be a camp follower in the days when American independence was a dream rather a certainty.

This program is funded by the Horizons Speakers Bureau of the New
Jersey Council for the Humanities, a state partner of the National
Endowment for the Humanities.
