DESCRIPTION:The Institute of History\, Archaeology\, and Education\, the 
 Rye Historical Society and the Rye Free Reading Room are pleased to welcome 
 Dr. Mary Beth Norton for a virtual discussion of her latest book\, 1774: 
 The Long Year of Revolution.  Dr. Norton will discuss what focusing on the 
 events between the so-called “Boston Tea Party” (known at the time as 
 “the destruction of the tea”) in December 1773 and the beginnings of 
 the war in April 1775\, a time usually overlooked in revolutionary 
 scholarship\, can reveal to us about the origins of the Revolution and the 
 final breakdown of the relationship between the American colonies and Great 
 Britain.\n\nMary Beth Norton is the Mary Donlon Alger Professor of American

 Witchcraft Crisis of 1692.  She was an author\, with others\, of A People 
 and A Nation\, which appeared in its 11th edition in 2018\, one of the 
 leading U.S. history textbooks since its initial publication in 1982. Her 
 most recent work is 1774: The Long Year of Revolution (2020)\, which won 
 the 2021 George Washington Prize as the best book on the revolutionary 
 era.\n\nShe has been elected a member of both the American Academy of Arts
