The Lenape & Revolutionary New Jersey

Two hundred and fifty years ago, North America was torn apart by the violence and chaos of the American Revolution. There’s more to the story we all learned in school. The Revolution didn’t just set Patriot against Loyalist; it was a brutal civil war that also divided America’s Indigenous nations. Join historian Henry Crouse, as he discusses the Lenape, New Jersey’s Indigenous inhabitants, and their role in the complicated cataclysmic conflict that birthed the United States. This event takes place on November 12 at 7PM in the METC Education Annex at 23 Main Street. $15/person, free for METC members Dr. Henry Crouse recently completed his dissertation “Captains and King” at Rutgers University. He teaches at West Morris High School and completed his graduate work at both Rutgers and Brown University. He is currently adapting his dissertation, which follows a prominent Lenape family throughout history, into a book for publication.
