Excerpt: ... soon as he could, and that I had offered him money to help him on his way to New York, as well as to give him directions where he might be secreted on the road, and procure a guide through the mountains DEGREES Alarmed at these infamous designs, I determined to lose no time in contriving the means for my own security, by every opportunity that should offer. A few days after, another special court of oyer and terminer and general goal delivery was notified to sit, and the supreme court of judicature for the trial of causes, with an accompanying jurisdiction within a fortnight. I therefore, sought the earliest opportunity to inform my wife of my determination to effect my escape: she did not long hesitate to come to me from Haverstraw and confirm me in my resolution. There was a lady in the village who had given me assurances that if once I could find an opportunity to quit the jail, she would secure me until I could procure a guide to conduct me in safety to any place - of security. This lady had long sympathized in my distresses; she had suffered much by the war, particularly on account of the loss of her husband, whose life had been most unjustly taken away for his allegiance to his sovereign. Mrs. Smith in consequence, informed her of my determination. Fortunately, a few days after, several persons came to see me, as well on business as from friendship, and they having interest with the deputy sheriff," persuaded him to suffer me to come out of my place of confinement, and sit with them in the open court room, in order to transact some business of a pecuniary nature. As the bottle was moving briskly round, I thought it a good opportunity to favour my design; there were three in company; and two of them, who were rigid democrats, had become..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Andre (1750 - 1780) was a British Army officer hanged as a spy by the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War for assisting Benedict Arnold's attempted surrender of the fort at West Point, New York to the British. According to Tallmadge's account of the events, he and Andre conversed during the latter's captivity and transport. Andre wanted to know how he would be treated by Washington. Tallmadge, who had been a classmate of Nathan Hale while both were at Yale, described the capture of Hale. When Andre asked whether Tallmadge thought the situations similar, he replied "Yes, precisely similar, and similar shall be your fate"-a reference to Hale's hanging as a spy by the British. In 1779, Andre became Adjutant General of the British Army in America with the rank of major. In April of that year, he took charge of British secret intelligence. By the next year (1780), he had begun to plot with American General Benedict Arnold. The story of Andre is one of those episodes of history which are most widely known and longest remembered. There is a pleasant tinge of romance about the man himself, for he was young, handsome, and possessed of many accomplishments, clever, agreeable, popular and the hero of a love-affair which has crept into a corner of English literature with enough sentiment and controversy attached to it to interest curiosity, and perhaps to touch the heart of succeeding generations. About this youthful and gallant figure gather suddenly the inexorable conditions which shut him in as relentlessly as the hand of Fate leads Orestes or Hippolytus or (Edipus to the doom which has awaited them since the beginning of years. The favorite of his commanders, a trusted staffofficer, advancing easily along the road of promotion, beloved among his fellows, popular in Society, he passes suddenly out of the sunshine of a young prosperity into the darkness of a desperate enterprise, becomes the paymaster of treason, a disguised fugitive, a prisoner, a convicted spy, and dies at last by the hangman's hands. The contrast between his life filled with a soldier's work and relieved by idle hours of music and flowers, of pageants and verse-making, and his miserable end, is hardly sharper than that which separates the grim gallows by the Hudson from the monument to his memory in Westminster Abbey. Romance, desperate adventure, and dark tragedy are all there in the story of Andre. Andre was portrayed by Michael Wilding as an eloquent and dignified idealist in the 1955 Hollywood film The Scarlet Coat. He is portrayed by JJ Feild in the TV series Turn: Washington's Spies."
