Gourd Patch Conspiracy discussed at Shepard-Pruden
The history book version of the American Revolution paints a picture of a united 13 colonies facing the might of Great Britain, but history is rarely that simple. Hard Times: The 1777 Gourd Patch Conspiracy was the subject of the last of the Shepard-Pruden Library’s Armchair Travelers America 250 series of lectures in Edenton.
