Battle of a Heroine Lydia Darragh Heroic Quaker Maid
A historical reading recounts Lydia Darragh and her husband William Darragh aiding Washington’s forces during Dunmore’s 1775 Norfolk action. Lydia bore a pass to reach the American camp, delivered crucial intelligence, and risked her family as soldiers fought near White Marsh. The piece ties her to a broader Norfolk–Great Bridge defense narrative and notes later commemorations by the Daughters of the American Revolution.
