Matthew Zembo, assistant professor in the Education and Social Sciences Department, will discuss “The 34th Regiment of Foot: A British Regiment in the Northern Frontier of the American War of Independence” as part of “History at Home,” a virtual lecture series offered through March by the Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site.
According to The Amsterdam Recorder, Zembo will discuss how the regiment operated in a vastly different theater of war then those experienced in Europe, how civilians played a role, and what actions the soldiers engaged in during the fight to put down rebellion in New York.
His talk is scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 18 at 6:30 p.m. The entire series is free to all via WebEx. The link for each program is live at 6:20 p.m. on the program day. No pre-registration is required.
