A Conflict of Emotions: Thomas and Margaret Gage and the American Revolution

The Clements Library houses the military papers of General Thomas Gage, British commander-in-chief in the decade leading up to the American Revolution. His descendant Deborah Gage reveals a private Thomas Gage through the lens of his marriage to wealthy American Margaret Kemble. Clements staff join her to discuss how the Library acquired the papers, their digitization, and the map of Manhattan that remained with the family.
