Coming July 8th. Register today!
In 1782, as the American War drew to its close, a musician in the 42nd Highland Regiment serving with the British Army in North America made a decision that would change his life entirely. He deserted. Within the decade, James Ewing was a teacher and pastor in New Jersey. Speaker Josh Mason will trace Ewing's remarkable journey as a way into the hidden world of British military bands: privately funded, little understood, and far more human than the drum-beats of history suggest.
