Expert Next Door #23 Dr. Kieran O'Keefe - Lyon University
Loyalists in the Hudson Valley during the Revolutionary War
Not all New Yorkers were fully supportive of the Patriots during the Revolutionary War. Dr. O'Keefe's talk will explore Loyalists in the Hudson Valley during the Revolutionary War. It will examine why some colonists remained loyal to the British, what the war was like for Loyalists in the region, and what happened to Loyalists after the conflict.
Dr. Kieran O'Keefe grew up in the Hudson Valley, and earned his PhD in History at George Washington University. He is currently working on a book entitled Suffering for the Crown: The Hudson Valley Loyalists, Violence, and Forced Migration in Revolutionary North America.
