SUMMARY:Author Talk & Book Signing: Colonel William Prescott — Heroic Commander of the Battle of Bunker Hill
DESCRIPTION:As part of Massachusetts’ commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States\, the Destination Groton Committee will host Donald R. Ryan for an author talk and book signing of his new work\, Colonel William Prescott: Heroic Commander of the Battle of Bunker Hill\, Sunday November 2\, from 2-4 pm at the Prescott Community Center\, 145 Main Street. Admission is free to all. To register for a seat go to: https://destinationgroton.com/RSVP/ \nMade possible through a grant from the Town of Groton’s Lecture Fund. \nThe program honors Groton-born Colonel William Prescott\, whose steadfast leadership at the Battle of Bunker Hill (fought on Breed’s Hill) embodied American courage and shaped the course of the Revolution. Drawing from years of public history work with the National Park Service at the Bunker Hill Monument\, Ryan’s talk revives Prescott’s remarkable story — from frontier family and colonial farmer to civic leader\, wartime commander\, and participant in the formative years of the new nation. \n“I’m excited to bring Prescott’s story home to Groton\,” said Donald R. Ryan. “His calm defiance and deep integrity captured the American spirit before there even was a United States — and his legacy deserves to be remembered as part of our 250th celebration.”
