Join author and historian Dale A. Carlson as he explores the burial sites and histories of over twenty American Revolution soldiers who settled in the Detroit area after the war.
In his one hour presentation, learn about Private James Robinson, who was born enslaved but died free, Colonel John Francis Hamtramck, after whom the suburb was named, and Major Thompson Maxwell, a Boston Tea Party participant buried in Dearborn Heights. Carlson also will guide you through these histories with a PowerPoint slideshow featuring historical and contemporary images, followed by a Q&A session.
