Tuesday 24th May 2016

The American Civil War Trust has alerted us to the threat to the 1777 Princeton battlefield. Despite the incredible historic significance of this battle, the Institute for Advanced Study (IAS) – a scholarly institution famed for its connections to Albert Einstein and other world-renowned scientists – is seeking to build faculty housing on 22 unprotected acres critical to the story of the battle.  Hear about this battle and the campaign to preserve it.
