Clark junior earns prize for Revolutionary War research

Connor Dunham ’27 recently received the Middlebrook Symposium Prize from the Heritage Trail Association for original research on the Revolutionary War in New Jersey. Connor’s essay, titled “The Revolutionary War in New Jersey Through the Eyes of Frederick Frelinghuysen,” focuses on militiaman and legislator Frederick Frelinghuysen to better understand the lives of New Jerseyans before and during the Revolution.

Dunham will also be conducting more research on Frelinghuysen as part of a history capstone directed study, exploring what the legends around his participation in the Battle of Trenton can tell us about how the Revolutionary War has been remembered.
