Joel Bohy, Director of Historic Arms and Militaria at Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers
The Siege of Boston began on the evening of April 19, 1775, and ended on March 17, 1776, with the British evacuation of Boston. Horns made during the Siege are things of beauty. Some bear the names of the men who carried them, telling human stories, locations where they were stationed, and sometimes the date they were made. In this talk, Joel Bohy will discuss horn usage during the outbreak of the Revolutionary War using period documentation and eight original horns in private collections.
