Bernadette Rogoff presents
Children of the Revolution
​
​​​
​
​

"Children of the Revolution" explores the experiences and memories of the youngest participants and witnesses of the American Revolution. From a thirteen-year-old Freehold drummer boy to five-year-old Benjamin Van Cleaf who fled the family farm with his mother and siblings to escape the approaching British, children saw and remembered the conflict in a variety of ways. Children witnessed bravery, fear, violence and chaos, writing of these memories decades later. This is not a presentation intended for small children, as the description of violent incidents will be discussed.
