Captain Henry Felder Talk led by John Brian Eleazer
2026-03-31 19:00 - 20:30
Join us for an evening of learning and asking questions.
About Captain Henry Felder.
Hans Henrich Felder, later Henry Felder, was born in Switzerland, immigrated to America with his parents as a young boy and settled in the Carolina backcountry in 1735. His position in the colony was well established when the tyrannies of the British Crown in response to the malcontent in the Colonies prompted him to cast his lot with the independence movement. Felder, along with his seven sons, formed a militia company to fight “all for liberty.” Hear the story of his backcountry adventures and his two legendary canons which are still preserved and on display.
About the presenter
John Brian Eleazer is a native South Carolinian and a direct descendant of Captain Henry Felder, the protagonist in the book he authored, The South Carolina Militia and the Revolutionary War. For fifteen years, Brian researched and wrote about Henry Felder, originally for his family’s consumption and later expanded to capture the uniqueness of the South Carolina colony and emergence of the South Carolina militia — a story somewhat different than that of the other twelve colonies. Additionally, Brian has written several short stories for his children and grandchildren. He is a retired Air Force officer and holds degrees from Clemson University and Auburn University.
This event is a discussion, not an in-character performance.
In person at the Hughes Main Library, 25 Heritage Green Pl, Greenville, SC, 29601; via livestream on YouTube – a link will be in event description located here: https://historycomesalive.org/ and a few days after the event a recording of it will be found here: https://www.youtube.com/@GreenvilleLibrary/search?query=chautauqua

Republic and Empire with Andrew O’Shaughnessy
2026-04-09 06:30 - 07:30
Join us in partnership with the South Carolina Historical Society as we approach our country’s 250th anniversary — we have explored many different angles of the Revolution – those specific to South Carolina, further narrowed to the Lowcountry, the thirteen colonies as a whole, and much, much more. But what of the Loyalists? Those who didn’t stand up to British rule and supported the empire and its endeavors? We are highly anticipating the return of celebrated author and renowned historian Andrew O’Shaughnessy for his latest, another perspective on the Revolutionary era – perhaps a more expanded context from what might be more broadly familiar. Joining O’Shaughnessy in conversation will be South Carolina Historical Society CEO, Elizabeth Chew.
