Lectures about the Revolution
Camden County College and the Skirmish
Committee are preparing to present a series of
lectures about the American Revolution, from the
perspective of our communities.
The series is part of the build-up for the Sat Jun 4
Skirmish on Kings Highway.
The series begins with a lecture on Wed Mar 30
at 7pm at the Masonic Temple (16 Kings Hwy E).
Garry Stone will describe the life of John Inskeep
(born near Haddonfield in 1757).
Inskeep volunteered in June 1776 to serve five
months in a temporary regiment sent to help
defend New York City. In fact, he served for the
next two years – as a militia cavalry man, artillerist,
quartermaster, and commissary.
He was at the battles of Princeton, Billingsport,
and Fort Mercer. Later he served as a quartermaster
for Continental Army.
His story is a vivid illustration of the ways the
American Revolution affected South Jersey.
Lecturer Garry Stone has a PhD in American
Studies from the University of Pennsylvania.
His entire career focuses on researching,
restoring, and interpreting historic sites and
landscapes.
He has served as chief archaeologist and then
director of research at Historic St. Mary’s City,
Maryland, historian at Monmouth Battlefield
State Park and historian at the Indian King Tavern
Museum in Haddonfield.
He is the author of numerous articles on
archaeology and history and a contributing author
of Fatal Sunday: George Washington, the Monmouth
Campaign, and the Politics of Battle.
The second lecture in the series, in the Borough
Hall at 7pm on Wed Apr 6, will be presented by
Doug Rauschenberger,
He will talk about life in Haddonfield during the
American Revolution.
Details about the Skirmish, and the lecture
series in particular, may be found here n, or on the
website of the Friends of the Indian Kings Tavern
Museum: IndianKingFriends.org.
