The talk is the latest in a series of museum speakers whose presentations keep history alive.
The speaker will be Andrew Thomas Zwilling, Phd., associate professor at the United States Naval War College, College of Distance Education.
He will discuss how the American War of Independence became a global conflict that stretched and threatened British power from North America to the Caribbean, Europe, Africa and India.
