Virtual Author Series

The Fort Ticonderoga Author Series features presentations by authors of books related to Fort Ticonderoga’s history.

LTC Seanegan Sculley will focus on American military leadership in the Continental Army and its development over the course of the American Revolution. He will utilize new Audience Response Technology to focus on recruiting, discipline, training, and morale to argue that both junior officers and soldiers maintained more agency in the development of leadership techniques than has been highlighted by previous historians of the period.

LTC Seanegan Sculley is an associate professor of history at the United States Military Academy and earned his Ph.D. at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 2015. He is the author of Contest for Liberty: Military Leadership in the Continental Army, 1775-1783, which won the 2019 Army Historical Foundation Distinguished Writing Award for Institutional History.

Your participation in these online programs supports Fort Ticonderoga’s mission to preserve, educate, and provoke an active discussion about the past and its importance to present and future generations.
