SUMMARY:Revolutionary Portsmouth Lecture Series "In Search of Private Yankee Doodle" at Strawbery Banke
DESCRIPTION:“Revolutionary Portsmouth” Joint Lecture Series:\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				In Search of “Private Yankee Doodle”: Discovering the Material World of a Revolutionary War SoldierFriday\, May 29\, 2026\, 6–7 PMStrawbery Banke Museum\, 14 Hancock Street\, Portsmouth \nDr. Philip Mead explores the lived experiences of enlisted soldiers in the American Revolution through the writings and material world of Joseph Plumb Martin. Enlisting at just 16\, Martin served seven years in the Continental Army under George Washington\, leaving behind one of the most detailed firsthand accounts of the war from the perspective of an ordinary soldier. Drawing on Martin’s memoir alongside surviving objects and documents\, Mead examines the motivations\, hardships\, and lasting impact of military service\, revealing how one man’s story reflects broader questions about sacrifice\, identity\, and democratic ideals in the early American republic. \nDr. Philip Mead holds a Ph.D. in early American history from Harvard University. From 2014 to 2023\, he served as the founding Chief Historian and Curator of the Museum of the American Revolution. He recently served as guest lead curator of The Declaration’s Journey (2025–2027)\, marking the 250th anniversary of 1776. His work focuses on the material culture and lived experiences of the Revolutionary era. \n			\n				Get your tickets to the lecture
