Weston Historical Society‘s Annual Meeting, with “The Minutemen and Their World,” a lecture by Dr. Robert Gross
In preparation for the 250th anniversary of the March to Concord in April, 1775, WHS is honored to present Dr. Robert Gross, author of the Bancroft-Prize-winning book The Minutemen and Their World (1976). Professor Gross is a specialist in the social and cultural history of the United States from the Revolution to the Civil War, focusing particularly on New England. His study of Concord in the 18th century traces the internal conflicts that shaped the town’s participation in the fight against British rule. A revised and expanded edition of the book was issued in 2022. Dr. Gross, a Professor of Early American History Emeritus at the University of Connecticut, authored the recent prize-winning book The Transcendentalists and Their World (2021). He has lived in Concord since 2014.
