Lecture: "Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution"
Saturday February 21, 2026
WCHP is pleased to partner with the David Center for the American Revolution at the American Philosophical Society to present a lecture by historian Travis Glasson on his new book, Nobody Men: Neutrality, Loyalties, and Family in the American Revolution (Yale University Press, 2025). While the American Revolution is often framed as a conflict between Patriots and Loyalists, nearly one-third of the colonial population remained neutral. In this lecture, Glasson examines the experiences of the Cruger family, a transatlantic merchant family who sought survival and stability over political allegiance. Their story illuminates the difficult choices faced by those who lived “in the middle” of a violent civil war and offers new insight into how revolutionary societies were shaped.
