Forgotten Voices of the Revolutionary War: People of Color and the Redding Encampment, 1778-1779
"The Redding Encampment, Connecticut’s first State Archaeological Preserve, is located in Putnam Memorial State Park. This website is dedicated to exploring the contributions of soldiers of color (Native, African, and African American) who spent the winter of 1778-79 in the three encampments there or on duty nearby. Our research sought to uncover the lives and experiences of these men, their families, and those who interacted with them during and after the American Revolution."
