In partnership with:
With support from: Lowell Institute
Date and time
Thursday, January 19, 2012

"Renowned for his fiery speeches commemorating the Boston Massacre, as the man who enlisted Paul Revere for his infamous ride, and as a hero of the Battle of Bunker Hill, Dr. Joseph Warren was an accomplished physician and leading patriot in Colonial Boston. Beloved and famous in his time, Joseph Warren is barely remembered today in contrast to his better known contemporaries. Dr. Sam Forman, physician, local historian, and author will discuss Joseph Warren's interactions with favorite Revolutionary Era personalities: Tory Governor Thomas Hutchinson, Patriot Samuel Adams, poetic muse of the Revolution Phillis Wheatley, and silversmith Paul Revere. *Correction: In describing the one-time fame of Joseph Warren, the speaker states that Warren is the fifth most common street and public place name in Eastern Pennsylvania. He should have said Eastern Massachusetts.*"
