Hobson Woodward, Adams Family Correspondence Series Editor for the Adams Papers Editorial Project at the Massachusetts Historical Society, will explore the life and times of Abigail Adams through her letters and the correspondence of family and friends. Abigail’s experience of the Battle of Bunker Hill will be the initial focus, and then explore her life as a revolutionary patriot, European traveler, first lady, investor, sister, mother, and grandmother. Life on Abigail’s beloved Peacefield farm in Quincy will be brought into focus, as will her role as an astute observer of the politics of the Early Republic.
