The Culper Code Book was used by the Culper spy ring to send coded messages to George Washington’s headquarters during the Revolutionary War.
Under the orders of General George Washington, Major Benjamin Tallmadge organized the Culper Spy Ring in 1778 to gather information on British troop movements, fortifications, and military plans in the New York area.
Informants used fake names and a numerical code book consisting of seven hundred and sixty-three numbers representing words, names, and places to communicate their information. Developed by Tallmadge, the Culper Code Book was essential in protecting the vital communications and identities of this important intelligence gathering group.
One of my all time fave TV series, Turn, was all about Washington’s spies.
We toast a drink to George and Ben, whenever we’re at Fraunces’ Tavern, in NYC. This is the sacred place where Washington bid farewell to his Continental Army.

GW called my 5G grandfather the Little Dutchman. Does that qualify. He visited family and spied on the German troops
Did you watch the Netflix show about them I think it was called “turn”. As with most shows, some of it was made up and dramatized, but it was good.
