Over Here, Molly Pitcher

This interpretive storytelling presentation relates the legend of "Molly Pitcher" (Mary Hays McCauley), the plucky woman who assisted her husband and his artillery crew during the Battle of Monmouth, June 28, 1778. Her tales are related from the perspective of 1822, the year she receives a pension for her service from the State of Pennsylvania. Molly, dressed in her Revolutionary War attire and armed with the material remnants of her service, touches upon the topics of what happened to the veterans of the Revolution AFTER the war, as well as her adventures from the time of her husband’s enlistment to the Battle of Monmouth – and her exciting day of battle.

This program is part of Ocean County Library’s celebration of the United States’ 250th anniversary, made possible through the generous support of the Ocean County Library Foundation.
