SUMMARY:IN PERSON: NEW YORK CITY DURING THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION WITH ARCHEOLOGIST PATTY HAMRICK
DESCRIPTION:Boston\, Philadelphia\, Yorktown… these are the places that 
 usually star in the American Revolution\, but New York City has a story to 
 tell as well! NYC was burned\, abandoned\, repopulated\, and put under 
 martial law\; it became home to pirates\, runaway slaves\, and smugglers\; 
 its churches were turned into hospitals\, its warehouses into jails\, and 
 its cemeteries into pleasure gardens. Even our rivers played a part\, 
 allowing us to be surrounded with fireships\, floating pens for prisoners 
 of war\, and\, briefly\, the French navy. The British occupied NYC for 
 seven years\, longer than any other part of what would soon become the 
 United States. It was also the last place they left\, not until over two 
 years after their ‘final’ defeat.\n\nNew York City during the American 
 Revolution is the story of people like William Franklin\, Ben’s 
 illegitimate and disgraced son\; Colonel Tye\, a black raider who led a 
 feared guerrilla force\; and Haym Salomon\, a Jewish Polish immigrant who 
 used his language skills to spy for George Washington.\n\nYou think you 
 know the American Revolution? Think again! Not all history happens on the 
 battlefield – though we have one of those\, too. The Battle of Brooklyn 
 was the largest military engagement of the entire war. Come learn about the 
 archaeology and history of New York City in the American Revolution. 
 Whether you’ve already seen Hamilton or couldn’t afford tickets\, this 
 is the class for you.\n\nPatty Hamrick is originally from Columbus\, Ohio\, 
 where she attended the Ohio State University for her undergraduate degree 
 in Archaeology. She went on to earn an M.A. in Anthropological Archaeology 
 from New York University. She has worked on excavations across Europe\, 
 Asia\, and North America\, including India\, Cyprus\, and Syria. She loves 
 bringing her passion for the past to new people.\n\nThe Millburn Library is
