I enjoyed it. Am new to many interesting NY revolutionary war stories. Would add that I would now like to attend one of Mr. Schnecter's lectures at this tavern.

@kanelandknight14 There are two books you NEED to get: The battle of Brooklyn by John Gallagher and The Battle For New York by Barnet Schecter. They both will have all the info you need. Also, The Maryland 400 In The Battle Of Long Island, 1776 by Linda Davis Reno is an amazing book! Good luck!

Has anyone read "The Battle For New York" by Barnett Schnecter? It covers the battle in Brooklyn very well. The author lectures at Fraunces Tavern from time to time.

I used that book as a source for my 13 page paper on the battle. I also met Barnett Schnecter at one of his lectures NYC Town Hall. He signed my copy of his book and I gave him a copy of this video. We had a interesting conversation in the elevator.
