Colonel John Durkee, The Bold Man from Bean Hill

We just celebrated the 250th Anniversary of the Battle of Bunker Hill in which the men of Connecticut under Colonel Thomas Knowlton played a pivatol part. Today we investigate the life of another Connecticut patriot, Colonel John Durkee of Norwich, Connecticut. To help us learn more about Col. Durkee and his friends and neighbors in eastern Connecticut Professor Robert Allison (Suffolk University) is in conversation with Dayne E. Rugh, author of John Durkee; The Forgotten Story of Connecticut's Bold Man from Bean Hill.
