The Lake Minnetonka Chapter is excited to announce the launch of our new book, “Our Patriots of the American Revolution.” This multi-year effort by our chapter members was led by Editors and Researchers-in-chief Linda Kline and Gigi Hickey. They were joined by Editing and Research Assistants Meghan Flannery, Charlotte Jenkins, and Sarah Martin, as well as Michelle Henderson White, who provided the photographs and cover design. Check out the book’s beautiful front and back covers!
Please read below about our book that celebrates America 250!
“Our Patriots of the American Revolution brings the American
Revolution to life through the experiences of the Patriot ancestors of the Lake Minnetonka Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR). The book provides an in-depth review of the Revolution with an emphasis on the writings, events, and ideas ordinary colonists would have read, experienced, and debated.
Included in each chapter are the individual stories of the Revolutionary War service of 92 Patriots, researched and written by their own descendants along with 10 stories of African American Patriots from the DAR’s Forgotten Patriot program.
The purpose of the book is to unite Americans behind the vision and values of liberty, equality, and justice embodied in the American Revolution and invite all citizens to contribute to finishing the work of securing that vision for all as we celebrate America’s 250th birthday.”
