The Marblehead Museum is excited to host (virtually) best-selling author, Patrick K. O’Donnell as he delves into the history of the ‘Headers who served with General John Glover in his new book “The Indispensables, The Diverse Soldier-Mariners Who Shaped the Country, Formed the Navy, and Rowed Washington Across the Delaware.”
The event will be held Thursday, May 27 at 7 p.m. via Zoom.
Local history with a national lens embodies much of Marblehead’s past. While the debate is still ongoing regarding the birthplace of the American Navy, the role that Marbleheaders played during the American Revolution has never been questioned.
