SUMMARY:The Battle of Hubbardton: The Rear Guard That Saved America
DESCRIPTION:The Battle of Hubbardton: The Rear Guard that Saved America \nThe Washington County Historical Society will present Dr. Bruce Venter speaking on his award-winning book\, The Battle of Hubbardton: The Rear Guard that Saved America at the Sandy Hill Arts Center at 214 Main Street (5th floor) in Hudson Falls\, NY on Tuesday\, July 7\, 2026\, at 6:30 p.m. This program has been added to our original schedule. \nHubbardton\, a British tactical victory fought on July 7\, 1777\, was one of the first engagements in General John Burgoyne’s campaign to capture Albany and split New England from the rest of the rebellious colonies. Despite a successful opening to his campaign\, Burgoyne ultimately was forced to surrender to an American army after being defeated and surrounded at Saratoga. Burgoyne’s surrender is credited with bringing France into the war on America’s side. The war would end successfully for the United States with a Franco-American victory at Yorktown four years later. Hubbardton is the only Revolutionary War battle fought in Vermont. The American victory at Bennington in August 1777 was actually fought in New York. \n“It’s time for folks to start boning up on the 1777 campaign\, the turning point of the Revolution\, because the 250th anniversary of these events is just around the corner\,” said Venter. He will use a PowerPoint presentation and leave time for questions and answers at the end of the program. \nVenter’s book was selected by the editors of the Journal of the American Revolution as one of the “100 Best Books on the American Revolution” and was extensively cited by Pulitzer Prize winning author Rick Atkinson in his new book\, The Fate of the Day which in part\, dealt with the Saratoga campaign. \nDr. Venter is president of America’s History LLC\, a history tour and conference company known nationally for its annual “premier” conference on the American Revolution. Bruce is currently vice-president of the Dr. Joseph Warren Foundation and the Marshall House\, Inc. He also serves on the board of trustees of the Lake George Battlefield Park Alliance where he does weekly podcasts with Alliance president\, Joh DiNuzzo\, the Fort Plain Museum and Historical Park\, and is a Commissioner on the Saratoga County 250th Commission. He is a “Color Bearer” member of the American Battlefield Trust. He recently appeared on C-SPAN where he presented his lecture on Ethan Allen. His history related articles have appeared in American History\, Blue & Gray\, Civil War\, Patriots of the American Revolution\, Washington Times\, Goochland County Historical Society Magazine\, and the Fort George Post. He is a popular speaker at historical conferences. \nHe holds a B.A. in history from Manhattan College\, a master’s in public administration\, and a doctorate in education. His professional career spanned 36 years in public education. He served as assistant superintendent for finance and operations at school districts in three states. \nDr. Venter is a native of Albany Currently\, Bruce and his wife Lynne live in Goochland County\, Virginia with their adorable beagle\, Molly Brant. They spend summers in Lake George. \nCopies of his book will be available for purchase after the lecture. There is no charge for the event. Donations are gladly accepted. All are welcome! \nWe hope you can join us for this interesting and informative program. \n \n
