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.  Gabriel Neville is the author of The Last Men Standing: The 8th Virginia Regiment in the American Revolution. 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.

This installment of the Afternoon Lecture Series will feature speaker Gabe Neville.
