About this event

Join us at Stony Point Battlefield for a presentation of “Sober, Industrious Women: Wives of British Soldiers in the American Revolution!” Saturday, September 19. 1:30-2:30PM. Almost one-eighth of British soldiers were married to women who lived with them in garrisons and traveled with them on campaigns. Often disparaged as mere camp followers, these women were an integral part of the military; employed by the army as washer women, nurses and sutlers. Author and historian Don N. Hagist will present the roles and activities of British army wives, showcasing their essential service and the hardships they faced during eight years of war in America.
