I welcome William Anthony Hay, associate director for public programs and professor of the School of Civic and Economic Thought and Leadership at Arizona State University. He writes most recently the history of John Trumbull (born 1756, died November 1843), an American painter—and much more.
A window on not only the American Revolution, but the relationship between the colonies that become the United States of America and Great Britain, the British Empire.
I begin the scene with our protagonist, John Trumbull, the young man attaching himself to Washington to watch the retreat of the British from Boston at that time.
Who was he? What were his dreams? What were his father's dreams for him?
