Fort Montgomery State Historic Site presents “A Walk Through the War of the Revolution: Go he must or be called a Tory,” at 7 p.m. Thursday, Aug. 15.
The lecture will focus on Joseph Elder, a young man who served during the American Revolution as a minuteman, militiaman, and soldier in the New York line and the levies. He was present at the Battle of Forts Clinton and Montgomery on Oct. 6, 1777. This presentation by his descendant, Scott Elder, will detail Joseph Elder’s wartime experiences and bring us face to face with this patriot.
