Samuel Wire and the Cowboys
Samuel Wire, a young Dragoon from Connecticut, was on a break from "Hunting Cowboys" when a door to a small house popped open. The green-clad Loyalist officer who stood in that doorway pointed his firelock and pulled the trigger!
Revolutionary War researcher and historian Phil Weaver will detail his discovery of this remarkable story and the winding road he took to document it on Thursday, December 1 at 7:00 pm. You will not only hear the narrative story, but learn who the “Cowboys” were, that chasing leads is not always a linear process, and that historical research can be fun and frustrating!
