Liberty's Kids 1, Boston Tea Party - Battle of the Hook Preparations

We are once again running the Liberty's Kids series in preparedness to the upcoming Battle of the Hook reenactment coming to Gloucester, Virginia this October, 19th and 20th, 2013.  We will run this entire series until the event.  It is our opinion that this gives a great yet, brief background leading up to the events that occurred both here in Gloucester and in Yorktown, Virginia.

They join’d in desiring him to speak his Mind, and gathering round him, he proceeded as follows;
