Excerpt: ...the whole British army to a stand ) Thence they turned off east of Dan'l Rapalje's and crossed the fields to the south of Howard's half-way house, where they halted in front of his house. About 2 o'clock in the morning, after the market wagons had passed, Howe, ? with a citizen's hat on and a eamblet cloak over his uniform dress, entered Wm. Howard's tavern, attended by Clinton and two aids, and asked for something to drink, conversed with him, and asked if he had joined the association? Howard said he had. "That's all very well. Stick to your integrity. But now you are my prisoner, and must lead me across these hills out of the way of the enemy, the nearest way to Gowanus." Howard accordingly conducted the army by a passage way between his house and horse shed over the hills and woods east of his house, till they came to the cleared land north of the woods. The horses drew the artillery up the hill in a slanting direction, and halted on the brow to breathe a little. The army then proceeded west and came out at Baker's tavern by the Gowanas road. The British took Adj. Jeromus Hoogland Lt. Troup and Lt. Dunscomb, American patroles, at the big white oak (since struck by lightning) in the middle of the road by the mile post, a little east of Howard's. Isaac Boerum, a trooper, of New Lots, was also taken in Bushwick, and died of small-pox in prison.--Ed. 806. R. H. Harrison to the President of Congress. New-York, 8 o'clock P. M., Aug. 27, 1776. Sir--I have this minute returned from our lines on Long Island, where I left his Excellency, the General.

This book was released on 2023-06 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 1775 belonged to Boston but after April of 1776, the Revolutionary War's focus became New York City and the highly strategic Long Island, from Brooklyn's terminal moraine high ground to Queens's Hell Gate. 1776 was the year when revolution came to Long Island, and in particualr the future Long Island City. The failures, defeats and eventual occupation of the area at the hands of the British forged the resolve and strength of character that would later ensure Patriot victories on distant battlegrounds throughout the rest of the colonies. The British did not evacuate western Queens county until November of 1783, but the events of 1776 would not soon be forgotten during the seven long years of occupation afterword. Join author Richard Melnick as he charts the military, political and cultural history 1776 in Long Island City.

Download or read book The American Revolution on Long Island written by Joanne S Grasso and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2017-09-18 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A history of the Revolutionary War and British occupation in this part of New York, from the Culper spy ring to the prison ships where thousands died. The American Revolution sharply divided families and towns on New York’s Long Island. Washington's defeat at the Battle of Long Island in August 1776 started seven years of British occupation—and Patriot sympathizers were subject to loyalty oaths, theft of property, and the quartering of soldiers in their homes. Those who crossed the British were jailed on prison ships in Wallabout Bay in Brooklyn, where an estimated eleven thousand people died of disease and starvation. Some fought back with acts of sabotage and espionage—and Washington’s famed Culper spy ring in Oyster Bay, Setauket, and other areas successfully tracked British movements. In this book, historian Joanne S. Grasso explores the story of an island at war.
