Damien Cregeau, author of Portraits of Patriots: Colonel John Trumbull and Five Fellow Patriots From Connecticut in the American Revolution
Portraits of Patriots: Colonel John Trumbull and Five Fellow Patriots From Connecticut in the American Revolution tells the fascinating stories of the famous artist as he not only struggles to become an artist but also fights in combat as an aide-de-camp. It also illustrates his artistically talented but troubled sister, Faith Trumbull Huntington, her husband, General Jedediah Huntington, and his brother, Colonel Ebenezer Huntington.
Samuel Webb of Wethersfield, who served as an aide-de-camp to Generals Putnam and Washington, fought at the Battle of Bunker Hill and eventually held the Bible at Washington’s Presidential Inauguration in 1789, is also featured.
