April 26 @ 12:00 pm - 2:00 pm
Join us at Books on the Common, Saturday April 26th, 12 to 2pm for a book signing! Author Keith Jones will be signing copies of his book, The Battle of Ridgefield! Books will be available for purchase.
Mr. Jones, the Founding President of the Ridgefield Historical Society and author of Farmers Against the Crown (2002), has added a great deal of new information and understanding to the story of inland Connecticut’s largest Revolutionary War engagement, the April 27, 1777, Battle of Ridgefield.
The Battle of Ridgefield, Benedict Arnold, the Patriot Militia and the Surprising 1777 Battle that Galvanized Revolutionary Connecticut, “shows the action was a more complex and significant Revolutionary moment than previously realized,” according to Connecticut State Historian Emeritus, Dr. Walter Woodward. The book integrates findings from a new generation of historians, with the Ridgefield Historical Society’s National Park Service 2022 Ridgefield Battlefield Protection Program Phase I Study and a digital trove of never-before-published archival primary source material!
