This is a great find for those of us interested in colonial NY and the RevWar. Something to see for those of you visiting NYC for the Christmas Season...

Your point with that statement is what, exactly? Perhaps you're just perpetually annoyed.

It's ironic for me to read this today. I was just reading about the defense of New York during the Rev War in "The Glorious Cause" by Jeff Shaara.
I highly recommend this book and its prequel "Rise to Rebellion".

Weren't New Yorkers mostly Loyalists? ;-)
To: pgyanke
Excellent...as they say, timing is everything.
As you likely know, very few remnants of colonial and RevWar times remain in NYC. Fraunces Tavern, St Paul's Chapel and the Morris-Jumel Mansion are the only Manhattan sites that I know of that remain. Happily, they were all touched significantly by The General.

NYC, then as now, was a complicated place in colnial and pre-RevWar times. As a matter of fact, from 1765 through 1770, it was NYC rather than Boston that was the center of ant-British activity (Stamp Act Congress; Son of Liberty; Battle of Golden Hill ).
But yes--you are right to imply that a good percentage of Loyalists came from NYC. The patriots fled when the brits occupied the city, many of them going to Philadelphia.

The spot where Nathan Hale was said to be executed is now a GAP.

To: Pharmboy
I didn't know about that list of sites. Thank you.

No I haven't as of yet, but something that I am looking forward to. I have walked the Freedom Trail in Boston, climbed the Bunker Hill Monument and walked the bridge during my visit to Lexington and Concord.
