Lecture (Virtual): "The Real Story: André, Arnold and Treason of the Blackest Dye”
Wednesday, September 11, 2024 07:00 PM - 08:00 PM
On September 23, 1780, Tarrytown was the site of an event that likely altered the outcome of the Revolutionary War: the capture of British spy Major John André and discovery of American General Benedict Arnold's treason. Almost immediately, fabrications and fake news sprang up, myths that persist in today's popular imagination. This presentation will correct the record with the real story of the capture by three honest Westchester militiamen and introduce new research on Arnold's disclosure of two Westchester-based double agents.
