Long Island During The American Revolution: The Battle Of Long Island And The British Occupation With Bill Bleyer
Author and historian Bill Bleyer will join us for a talk on the largest battle of the American Revolution, a defeat that could have spelled the end of the Continental Army in 1776, and the subsequent British occupation and hardships it caused for Long Island residents until the end of the conflict in 1783. Because of this, Long Island was the last place occupied by the British during the Revolution. Join us for a look back at Long Island under siege.
