HARRISONBURG, Va. — On March 17th, the Fort Harrison Chapter of the Sons of the American Revolution welcomed Compatriot Chris Yohn for a fascinating presentation to a full house, drawn from his book Liberty’s Land. The book recounts the true story of the American Revolution on the West Branch of the Susquehanna River. The men, women and children who settled the valley made remarkable contributions to American independence and their real-life experiences are more compelling than anything that could have been imagined.

The narrative spans the full course of the conflict as local settlers defend their valley and march with the Continental Army through the war’s major events. More than a simple war chronicle, the story unfolds through layers of espionage, conspiracy, and murder.

Richly detailed and deeply human, Liberty’s Land reveals how courage, self‑determination, and the relentless pursuit of liberty helped these men and women shape a nation founded on the then‑radical idea that all people are created equal.

It is noteworthy that the event was attended by three separate Virginia DAR and three Virginia SAR chapters.
