#Todayin1776: Abigail Hears the Battle for Dorchester Heights From Her Home
Podcast: Getting Hammered®Published On: Tue Mar 03 2026
Description: This is fascinating! Abigail Adams begins a letter to John Adams in Philadelphia that she won't finish until eight days later on March 10. Why? Because she is continually interrupted by bombing in nearby Boston, which unbeknownst to her is the beginning of the consequential taking of Dorchester Heights by the Colonial Army. She also talks about attacks on Adams' reputation, the trouble some friends get into defending him, and her thoughts on "Common Sense." Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
