Robert Erskine, Revolutionary War mapmaker to George Washington, with Billy Neumann

REGISTRATION REQUIRED

Saturday, January 10th @ 10:30am via Zoom
Erskine’s detailed maps skillfully guided George Washington and his army throughout New Jersey and beyond. Erskine's ascent from British minemaster to patriot in charge of mapmaking for the American Revolution may sometimes be forgotten. But today his work is alive as his maps reveal incredible information about our heritage, our land and our roads.
