Kidder’s program will focus on the 10 crucial days from December 25, 1776 through January 3, 1777 that were vital toward restoring the American patriots’ efforts to fight for independence against the British. The program will discuss Washington’s crossing of the river through the battle of Princeton.

He is a member of the Washington Crossing American Revolutionary War Round Table, the Association for Living History, Farm, and Agricultural Museums, and serves on the New Jersey Living History Advisory Council and the Crossroads of the American Revolution Advisory Council.
Kidder’s books on the American Revolution include: "Ten Crucial Days: Washington’s Vision for Victory Unfolds"; "A People Harassed and Exhausted: The Story of a New Jersey Militia Regiment in the American Revolution"; and "Crossroads of the Revolution: Trenton 1774-1783." #njhistory #SpreadTheHistory
