“The American Revolution” is coming to PBS this fall, and WSRE invites you to a free preview screening in the Jean & Paul Amos Performance Studio at Pensacola State College. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Kathleen DuVal, who appears in the new documentary film series from Ken Burns, will speak following the film. There will also be a special presentation of the colors by the Pensacola Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution.DuVal contributed to the production and in the film speaks about Spanish military leader Bernardo de Gálvez and how events that took place along the Gulf Coast, including the Siege of Pensacola, affected the outcome of the American Revolutionary War.
In her book “Independence Lost: Lives on the Edge of the American Revolution,” DuVal tells the forgotten story of the American Revolution on the Gulf Coast. Winner of the Journal of the American Revolution Book of the Year Award and finalist for the George Washington Book Prize, “Independence Lost” was first released in 2015. In commemoration of America’s 250th anniversary and DuVal’s appearance in “The American Revolution,” Penguin Random House is reissuing the book this fall.
The first 100 to register for the Oct. 21 preview screening will receive a copy of the new edition at the event. Admission is free. Register online at wsre.org/events or at eventbrite.com.
