HISTORY & SOCIAL SCIENCE<br />
Spanish Patriots during the<br />
American Revolution<br />
NEW!<br />
A brief background history of the involvement<br />
and the contributions by the Spanish<br />
Government and the Spanish Patriots to<br />
the Continental Congress and to George<br />
Washington’s Army during the American<br />
Revolution. The contributions named include<br />
both monetary and military support. She<br />
will speak of the Spanish military battles<br />
fought on land and sea against the British<br />
during the period from 1779-1783. Notable Spaniards will be<br />
named who played important roles in assisting the Colonist in<br />
our fight for independence. Among the notable patriots are the<br />
thousands of Spanish soldiers that lived in the presidios (forts)<br />
along the borderland states from Florida to California. Today,<br />
many descendants of these Spanish Soldiers and Sailors have<br />
researched and found out that their ancestors participated in or<br />
supported our American Revolution.<br />

What Members say about <strong>OLLI</strong><br />
“Joining <strong>OLLI</strong> has enhanced my life style. The enriching fun activities, the<br />
informational lecture series and the friendship bonds formed through sharing<br />
life-learning process with others are priceless.<br />
I share the positive benefits of an <strong>OLLI</strong> membership whenever an opportunity<br />
presents itself. I introduced my sister to <strong>OLLI</strong> last year and she cannot say enough<br />
about the program and the people who are part of it.<br />
It is in this spirit that my family and <strong>OLLI</strong> will host my niece, Farah Stockman,<br />
author of Enemy of the People: Journalism in an age of political upheaval and Pulitzer-<br />
Prize winning journalist for the New York Times, (see page 20). She will share parts of<br />
her life’s journey as a journalist facing the many and varied contentious life-changing<br />
issues facing us all today.<br />
Quite a story…come share in the conversation!”<br />
