SUMMARY:Book Launch: George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring
DESCRIPTION:\n\n\nJoin us for a online launch event May 3 at 7 p.m. for George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring: A History and Tour Guide, the fifth Long Island history book by former Newsday reporter Bill Bleyer. Get your free tickets below.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLearn the True Story of the Culper Spy Ring: 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. Bill’s PowerPoint lecture “The True Story of the Culper Spy Ring” separates facts from fiction and details the ingenious operation of the intelligence network that helped the Patriots win the war.\nBill Bleyer was a prizewinning staff writer for Newsday, the Long Island daily newspaper, for thirty-three years before retiring in 2014 to write books and freelance for the newspaper and magazines.\nHe is co-author, with Harrison Hunt, of Long Island and the Civil War (The History Press, 2015). He is the author of Sagamore Hill: Theodore Roosevelt’s Summer White House (The History Press, 2016); Fire Island Lighthouse: Long Island’s Welcoming Beacon (The History Press, 2017), and Long Island and the Sea: A Maritime History, (The History Press 2019). His fifth book, George Washington’s Long Island Spy Ring: A History and Tour Guide, will be published by The History Press on May 10.\n\n\n\n\n\n
