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.
