The Fraunces Tavern Museum has announced a virtual lecture by the author of George Washington’s Nemesis: The Outrageous Treason and Unfair Court-Martial of Major General Charles Lee during the Revolutionary War, Christian McBurney, set for Thursday, October 8th.
In this lecture, McBurney will discuss his research on General Charles Lee, and his relationship with George Washington. While historians often treat General Charles Lee as an inveterate enemy of George Washington or a great defender of American liberty, author Christian McBurney argues that neither image is wholly accurate.
Christian McBurney is a partner in a Washington, DC, law firm. He is author of a number of books and articles on the Revlutionary War, including The Rhode Island Campaign: The First French and American Operation in the Revolutionary War (Westholme, 2011).
This lecture will begin at 6:30 pm, and will be held via Zoom. For more information or to register, visit the Fraunces Tavern Museum website. Registration ends at noon on Thursday.
