Back Porch History: The American Revolution in Inwood.

Part 1:1776

June 22nd at 6PM

We’ll turn our clocks back to 1776 and hear all about uptown Manhattan’s Revolutionary War story. The sabotaged cannons, the secret submarines, & King George’s "head" on a spike at 181st Street. The bone-jarring battle of Fort Washington, fought with all Manhattan on the line. Uptown tales from heroes, deserters, and soldiers, told in their own words. What Washington said to his trusted generals as the British put the squeeze on Manhattan Island.

We also have an actual find to share; recently discovered neighborhood sketches by British artilleryman Thomas Davies. Hope to see you there.

Historia En Los Balcones: la revolución americana en Inwood.

Parte 1: 1776

22 de junio a las 6:00 pm

Retrocedemos en el tiempo a 1776 y escucharemos todo sobre la historia de la Guerra de la Revolución. Los cañones saboteados, los submarinos secretos y la "cabeza" del rey Jorge empalado en la calle 181. La batalla desgarradora de Fort Washington, librada con todo Manhattan en juego. Historias de héroes desertores y soldados, contadas en sus propias palabras. Lo que Washington dijo a sus generales de confianza cuando los británicos pusieron presión en la isla de Manhattan.

También tendremos un hallazgo real que les compartiremos; bocetos recientemente descubiertos por el artillero británico Thomas Davies. Esperamos verte allí.
