George Washington's Nemesis: The Outrageous Treason and Unfair Court-Martial of Major General Charles Lee during the Revolutionary War

oct lectue.jpg

Presented by Christian McBurney*

While historians often treat General Charles Lee as an inveterate enemy of George Washington or a great defender of American liberty, author Christian McBurney argues that neither image is wholly accurate. In this lecture, McBurney will discuss his research into a more nuanced understanding of one of the Revolutionary War's most misunderstood figures. 

This lecture will take place using Zoom. Fill out the form below to register, and you will receive an email with a link to the lecture the afternoon of October 8.
