Better Known than Acknowledged: The Lees of Stratford and the Cause of Liberty
Prince William History Lecture Series: “’Better Known than Acknowledged’: The Lees of Stratford and the Cause of Liberty” by Dr. Gordon Blaine Steffey
May 28 | 7-8:30pm | FREE
Of Richard Henry Lee, John Adams famously observed that he was “better known than acknowledged,” an observation that applies to the entire revolutionary generation of Lees reared at Stratford in the Northern Neck of Virginia. Dr. Steffey joins us to discuss the making of these Northern Neck radicals and the critical role they played in the founding, from the earliest days of dissent to the formation of a new political union of “free and independent” states and beyond.
This lecture is a FREE program jointly sponsored by the Prince William County Office of Historic Preservation and Historic Prince William.
