May 4, 2007 - White Plains, NY.
|
On May 4, Pulitzer Prize winning author David Hackett Fischer -- the guest speaker at the previous night’s Annual Dinner Event -- toured the grounds of the Jacob Purdy house and other historic sites of the Battle of White Plains. Because this battle was fought between the Continental Army’s defeat in New York City and its victory, just weeks later, at Trenton, Dr. Fischer hypothesized that it was at the Battle of White Plains that General Washington began employing his collaborative approach to leadership that proved so effective in the War of Independence.
