Rev. Wm Johnston and His Gang of Villains: A Loyalist Perspective

Untold stories of the 18th-century Susquehanna Valley

Join the Sidney Historical Association for a special program on Saturday, May 16 at 11:00 am at the Sidney Public Library (8 River Street, Sidney).

Terry McMaster explores the complex web of:

• Colonial Immigration: How early settlers navigated the edge of the known world
• Border Warfare: The brutal realities of life on the Revolutionary frontier
• The Johnston legacy: The journey of a 60-year-old minister who dared to build a new life at the confluence of the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers (sound familiar?)

Meet the Speaker: Terry McMaster

As a direct descendant of Reverend William Johnston, Terry brings a personal passion to his rigorous historical research. His ancestors were pioneers who helped shape the Mohawk and Susquehanna valleys long before the United States was born.
