Join C.J. McGroarty for a reading and discussion of her new book Clara in a Time of War, a compelling story of historical fiction set in 1777 Chester County, Pennsylvania.

Join us for a presentation on Brigadier-General Duportail at his headquarters during the Valley Forge encampment of 1777-78, the historic “Duportail House” (c.1740) in Chesterbrook.
Within a year of his joining the Continental Army in November 1777, General Louis Le Begue Duportail, a French military engineer, had become a trusted aide and advisor to the command-ing general.
