About
In this episode, host Patrice Todisco and Diane Cronin, Clerk and former Chair of the Pepperell Historical Commission and a Director of the Pepperell Historical Society, visit the Prudence Wright Overlook and nearby bridge spanning the Nashua River to explore just how scrappy and determined Patriot women of colonial New England really were.
Learn about Prudence Cummings Wright, who not only sabotaged British military communications following the Battles of Concord and Lexington, but did so in defiance of members of her own family.
