Bedford Playhouse: John Jay Lecture Series: Crucible of Peace with Elite Gould
John Jay was the third member (along with Benjamin Franklin and John Adams) of the Peace Commission which produced the treaty ending the Revolution and definitively established the independence of the “United States.” Eliga Gould, Professor of History at the University of New Hampshire, calls this Treaty of Paris “the third founding document, equal in importance to the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.”
He has won multiple prizes for his other books, and multiple fellowships for his work.
An event every week that begins at 9:45 am on Sunday, Friday and Saturday, repeating until December 1, 2024
