SUMMARY:Hingham in the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Discover the diverse and fascinating roles Hingham and its people played in the national struggle for independence\, from Major General Benjamin Lincoln’s collaborative friendship with Commander in Chief George Washington\, to Hingham’s wartime production of tens of thousands of wooden canteens\, to its “fighting minister” at Lexington and Concord\, its artillerymen devastated at Brandywine\, its field surgeon at Yorktown under Alexander Hamilton’s command\, and a young British girl interned in Hingham as an enemy alien who later became a celebrated novelist. \nJames B. Conroy is an award-winning author of narrative history\, an honorary fellow of the Massachusetts Historical Society\, a member of the Hingham Historical Society’s Board of Directors\, and a former chairman of Hingham’s Advisory Committee. A graduate of the University of Connecticut\, Jim was a Senate speech writer and a congressman’s chief of staff in his youth and served for six years in the Naval Air Reserve. After graduating magna cum laude from the Georgetown University Law Center\, he practiced commercial litigation law in Boston for 38 years\, during which time he started a second career as a historian and writer. His highly anticipated fourth book featuring Hingham in the American Revolution will be published by the Hingham Historical Society in 2026 to coincide with America’s 250th. Jim and his wife Lynn have lived in Hingham since 1981.
