About the event
Collectively, with the Laurens County 250 Sestercentennial Committee and the Laurens County Museum, the Revolutionary War Lecture Series continues with a lecture about Laurens County’s own Dicey Langston. The Reverend Paul Wood, Jr., will speak about teenager Laodicea Langston, “Dicey”, and her many acts of bravery as a Patriot in Laurens County. Dicey was a spy and defender of her home and family as she risked her life for the Patriot cause.
Reverend Wood, a United Methodist Minister, made the American Revolution in the South his hobby five years ago. His article on Dicey Langston was the first to be published by the South Carolina Sestercentennial 250th Commission. He is currently doing research on William “Bloody Bill” Cunningham.
