Title: “The American Revolution Told in Ten Maps”

Speaker: Ronald S Gibbs, MD, President California Map Society, Clinical Professor, Stanford University School of Medicine

Summary: To celebrate the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution, this presentation will explore the political and military aspects of the war, using ten period maps from the Gibbs’ family’s collection. At the outset, the Americans were given little chance to gain independence against the mighty British forces. Yet, underlying the British power, there were telling weaknesses. Ron will report the key actions of the eight-years-long war  and then analyze why the British lost and the Americans won.
