Join us for a presentation by Bill Bleyer, former prizewinning staff writer for Newsday, who will delve into the story of the largest battle of the American Revolution, a defeat that could have spelled the end of the Continental Army in 1776. He will discuss the subsequent British occupation and hardships it caused for Long Island residents until the end of the conflict in 1783. Long Island was the last place occupied by the British during the Revolution.
