Sundays at the Society: The True Story of the Culper Spy Ring
Learn the true story of the Culper Spy Ring from former Newsday reporter Bill Bleyer, author of George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring: A History and Tour Guide. History buffs have long been fascinated by the operation of the Long Island-based Culper Spy Ring during the American Revolution, especially since the airing of the AMC series “Turn.” Over the years, there have been many legends, such as the role played by Anna Strong’s clothesline, and suppositions about how the spies operated to support George Washington’s Continental Army. This fascinating talk separates facts from fiction and details the ingenious operation of the intelligence network that helped the Patriots win the war. Followed by a book signing. This event is free, but please RSVP. The talk will take place at Northport Books (127 Main Street, Northport). Sundays at the Society is sponsored by M&T Bank.
