The Wartime Experiences of Rev. William Martin
to
USC-Lancaster Native American Studies Center 119 South Main Street, Lancaster, South Carolina 29720
The American Revolution includes anecdotal accounts of civilians persecuted for voicing criticism of British military actions. Rev. William Martin was one voice of dissent who suffered the consequences and paid the price for his convictions.
This informative and engaging program, led by Public Historian and Reenactor Robert Ryals, brings Martin’s experiences to life, demonstrating the value of anecdotal history, and how anecdotal accounts can be applied for understanding the war’s effect on civilians.
This program was made possible through a grant awarded by the South Carolina Sestercentennial Commission (SC250) to the Lancaster County 250 Committee.
