Events › VA250 Book Group: "From Trenton to Yorktown: Turning Points in the Revolutionary War," by John R. Maass

The Central Rappahannock Regional Library is hosting four book discussions in celebration of America’s semiquincentennial. The first, held at the historic Rising Sun Tavern in Fredericksburg, will discuss From Trenton to Yorktown: Turning Points in the Revolutionary War by John R. Maass. This work, published to coincide with the 250th anniversary, provides a sweeping narrative of five critical military events that changed the outcome of the Revolutionary War, including the Yorktown Campaign of 1781.

This book discussion, led by both librarians and historians, will provide an opportunity for attendees to discuss the key moments of the Revolutionary War in a home built by George Washington’s youngest brother, Charles, in 1760.
