Rock Island Arsenal Lecture Series: American Independence

This year's lecture series explores the events surrounding American Independence, from the colonial era to the writing of the Constitution. This month, the lecture will take an overview of first shots and early major battles of the Revolutionary War, the strategic alliances (especially with France), the leadership of George Washington, and the founding of the Continental Army.

All lectures in this series are presented by a member of Army Sustainment Command's Office of the Historian.
