Portraits of the Patriots: Virtual Lecture&nbsp;Thursday, November 12 | 6pmMembers: Free; Non-Members: $10Honor the patriots of the past for Veteran&rsquo;s Day in this virtual lecture.&nbsp;Portraits of Patriots: Colonel John Trumbull and Five Fellow Patriots From Connecticut in the American Revolution&nbsp;fills an important gap in existing literature of the American Revolution, revealing the many contributions of patriot officers who helped General George Washington and his Continental Army win the war and establish a new nation. This book is the first of two volumes, centered on John Trumbull, his artistically-talented sister, Faith, and four fellow officers from Connecticut in the American Revolution through the end of 1778. The stories of their lives depict selfless sacrifice while caring for the needs of the suffering soldiers under their command. This book sheds new light on General Washington&rsquo;s unsung heroes&mdash;the officers of the army who have received little focus until now.
