Daughters of 1812

Christina Belford presented the program at the April meeting of Mark Epperson Chapter United States Daughters of 1812. Using the children’s book An American Army of Two, she told the story of two sisters who saved their town of Scituate, Massachusetts, when the British sailed into the harbor to raid supplies from the citizens. The sisters, whose family tended the Scituate lighthouse, were credited with bravery in the War of 1812. Courtesy photo
