Seven Years War Speaker Series – BBHC

9/25/24:  Dr. Richard Grimes is an adjunct history professor at La Roche University in the North Hills of Pittsburgh. Dr. Grimes recently published “The Western Delaware Indian Nation, 1730–1795: Warriors and Diplomats.” He teaches history courses in western civilization, history and culture of Native Americans and 18th and 20th century America. His book focuses on the Western Delaware Indian Nation—its origin and development, and its transformation through historical events (the Seven Years’ War and American Revolution) in Western Pennsylvania and Ohio during the 18th century. Dr. Grimes was interested in the Delaware Indian story as displaced people from Eastern Pennsylvania, their migration across the Allegheny Mountains and their emergence as a new people in the Ohio Country. “To fully understand their historical experience, I had to reconstruct their social and political structure from the few records available. I tried my best to tell their story, from their perspective.” We invite you to come to the Braddick’s Battlefield History Center, and hear the perspective of non-Europeans who were involved in the 7 Years’ War. https://www.facebook.com/events/1001604735051170
