North Salem fourth graders uncover town's revolutionary past
Dr. Debbie Oswald Brings Revolutionary War Tales to Life for 4th Graders Studying American History
"Imagine being in lawless North Salem, maybe you're a patriot, but your next-door neighbor is a loyalist and you can't trust anyone," said Oswald. “North Salem was dangerous. But remember, there's no internet, no cellphones, no telephones, you'd basically have to yell for help.”
