Fort Fever Series featuring Dr. Matthew Keagle

The Fort Fever Series is a virtual series presented by Fort Ticonderoga staff.

Join Dr. Matthew Keagle, Curator, to preview the 2025 special exhibition highlighting “Subjects, Citizens, Service.” The Revolutionary War was the longest armed conflict in American history until the 20th century and war shaped all the nations involved. Existing armies expanded and new armies sprung into being, calling thousands directly into military service. People on both sides of the Atlantic made decisions when, and if, to enter the military, and many millions of others had loved ones, friends, or family members who served on all sides of the conflict. Terms of service varied and evolved during the war in ways that shaped how nations and individuals understood and interacted with military service in ways that still have meaning today.
