About this event

Join author and historian Richard Melnick as he charts the military, political, and cultural history of 1776 in Long Island City. After April of 1776, the Revolutionary War's focus became New York City and the highly strategic Long Island, which at the time included parts of Brooklyn up through Queens’ Hell Gate. 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.
