Revolutionary War Reenactment: Battle of Germantown 2015
In late September of 1777, after victorious encounters with American troops at Brandywine and Paoli, British soldiers occupied Philadelphia, then the capital of the Revolutionary government. The occupying army quartered several thousand troops in the nearby village of Germantown, about 6 miles northwest of the city.
In early October, from his headquarters in Skippack (Montgomery County), General George Washington plotted to recapture the capital as quickly as possible. His elaborate battle plan called for an assault on Philadelphia from the northwest, aimed through the heart of Germantown. Overnight and through the early morning hours of October 4, as many as twelve thousand men moved south towards Germantown by several different routes, hoping to catch the British by surprise.Advancing Americans on the Germantown Road encountered a British picket outpost near, what is now, Allens Lane in Mount Airy. The resulting burst of artillery fire from nearby alarm cannons alerted British Colonel Thomas Musgrave’s 40th Regiment, which had camped in the fields around Cliveden. After several hours of intense fighting in and around Cliveden the Americans retreated back into Montgomery County, and eventually to a long winter at Valley Forge. They left behind more than 152 dead soldiers in Germantown, 70 of them on the grounds of Cliveden. British casualties were less severe, but a visitor after the battle described the interior of Cliveden as looking “like a slaughterhouse.”
Phillip Seitz - Prelude
Telling the first of three stories Phillip Seitz, Social Historian, worked for 9 years at Cliveden in Philadelphia. During that time an enormous number of the Chew Family Papers were discovered and turned over to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania. Included in those papers were letters Benjamin Chew received from the overseer of his plantation in the state of Delaware. For more information about the Chew family go to Phillip's website TheHistoryteller.

Public Humanities, Part 5
Record, Preserve, Document, Shape: Talking About the Public Humanities with Steven Lubar
Temple University, Paley Library, Thursday, November 18
How do museums, libraries, archives, universities and other public institutions shape the recording and presentation of artistic and cultural heritage? How does that inform our understanding of the past, present, and future? How do we disseminate humanistic research originating within the ivory tower to the world-at-large? What is the future of cultural programming and publicly funded arts and humanities initiatives? Join a conversation on the state of public culture moderated by Seth Bruggeman of Temple's Center for Public History, featuring Steven Lubar of Brown University's John Nicholas Brown Center for the Public Humanities and Cultural Heritage.
Lubar is one of the country's foremost public historians, and leads a graduate program and think tank at Brown University that explores these questions, and more. Prior to Brown, Lubar was a curator at the Smithsonian's National Museum of American History. There, he went on to chair the Division of the History of Technology and oversee several major permanent exhibitions, including the groundbreaking America on the Move, which examines the history of public transportation in the United States. In addition to his work at the Smithsonian, Lubar has taught at Johns Hopkins University, the University of Maryland and the University of Pennsylvania.
This program was co-sponsored by the Village of Arts and Humanities, the Wagner Free Institute of Science, the North Philadelphia Arts and Culture Alliance, and the Center for Public History at Temple.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
