SUMMARY:MJM Virtual Parlor Chat: Food\, Hunger\, Scarcity and General Washington’s Continental Army
DESCRIPTION:What did the soldiers of the Continental Army eat to fuel their fight for independence? What about the officers or General George Washington? Food insecurity was a monumental challenge faced by all those involved in the American Revolution. John Ota\, a bestselling and award winning author of books such as “The Kitchen” (2021 Taste Canada Awards finalist and a 2021 Paris Gourmand Cookbook finalist) and the newly released book “The Dining Room” joins the Mansion to discuss what these rations would have looked like for throughout the ranks. Ota’s deep research into the foodways of the Revolution will offer a detailed and thoughful lecture on the true circumstances of the Military encampment and headquarters menus – including what would have been eaten by soldiers and Generals alike when stationed at the MORRIS-JUMEL MANSION. \nFrom soldier’s rations to George Washington’s war time birthday celebrations\, learn about the culinary history of the American Revolution. \nThis is a virtual event;link will be emailed upon registration.

SUMMARY:Virtual Parlor Chat: Trapped Between Armies: New York Women in the Neutral Zone
DESCRIPTION:The American Revolution was largely fought in the backyards of civilians\, especially in New York. After the British took control of New York City in the fall of 1776\, with the Americans retreating north of the Croton River\, the area in between became known as the Neutral Ground or Neutral Zone. \n\n\nFor eight long years\, this area\, which included all of Philipse Manor\, saw unprecedented levels of military battles and skirmishes\, vigilante violence\, and “foraging” for military supplies from the very civilians the armies were purporting to liberate from the enemy. Women were often caught in the middle\, as they struggled to maintain households with men joining armies\, tried to protect themselves and their children from military and vigilante violence including sexual violence\, and to protect their properties and foodstuffs from barn burnings\, cattle rustlers\, and marauding “foragers.” Some had strong political views on the conflict. Others simply tried to survive. \nThis talk will examine the lives of women in the Neutral Zone more broadly as well as specific stories of individual women including Mary Philipse Morris and Elizabeth Williams Rutgers Philipse\, Ann Fisher Miller\, Grace Isaacs Babcock\, and Black Loyalists such as Eleanor Fleming and Lydia Tompkins. \n\n\n
