Picture of Noah Lewis


Edward "Ned" Hector,
Black Patriot of the American Revolution

Let it be known that Edward "Ned" Hector has been assigned to Captain Hercules Courtney's unit of the 3rd Pennsylvania Artillery Company."

Thus begins a historically accurate portrayal of a man who lived in Conshohocken and fought in the Battle of Brandywine. Known to his friends as "Ned," Edward was a freeman and teamster by trade. Noah brings Ned to life and talks not only about his role on the battlefield, but about the role of African-Americans during the Revolution. Please note: Noah comes dressed in a replica of a uniform from the American Revolution. He also brings a replica Pennsylvania long rifle into class, without gunpowder or bullets.
