Author Talk with Gabriel Neville

William Croghan and two of Lucy Clark’s brothers were officers in the Continental Army’s 8th Virginia Regiment. A close bond shaped by years of combat and a year in British captivity preceded the marriage that defined Locust Grove.  This lecture speaker, Gabriel Neville, is the author of the new book The Last Men Standing: The 8th Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution, the first work-ever covering the entirety of the 8th Virginia Regiment in the Revolutionary War. From the Declaration of Independence to Yorktown, Croghan and the Clark brothers witnessed some of the most important events of America’s founding before overseeing veteran settlement of Kentucky. After years of research, Mr. Neville will share some of the best stories from his new book.
