  The Battle of Long Island–August 27, 1776

  Aug 26, 20262 minS0

  <p >The Battle of Long Island was one of our largest engagements with the British, and it was also the first one after the Declaration of Independence. </p> <p >And it was a rout; the Americans got their heads handed to them. The British took New York and they occupied it for the rest of the war. After so many smaller victories, we finally got the lessons that A) this was going to be a long and bloody war, and B) there really isn’t any such thing as an easy victory. </p> <p >As a result, New York City be...

  Eve of Battle–August 26, 1776

  Aug 26, 20262 minS0

  <p >At this point, both George Washington and General William Howe know that they’re literally on the eve of battle, and they’re making their final preparations. </p> <p >The British, along with the Hessians, were making plans to move along the Jamaica Pass (it’s the road just above the Acroasis logo in today’s art), which, while they didn’t know it, was relatively lightly guarded by the Continental Army. </p> <p >Washington’s tactic was to hold on to the Heights of Guan (the ovals to the right of the episode title, representing hills) and fortify Brooklyn Hei...

  Reacting to Brooklyn–August 23, 1776

  Aug 22, 20262 minS0

  <p >The day after the British landed on Long Island, George Washington was disheartened to learn that army provisioning wasn’t at the level he’d expected, despite his orders only a week earlier. </p> <p >It was bad enough that he’d been caught a little flatfooted by both the magnitude and the direction of the British movement, now he discovers that troops he’d ordered to move had done so without proper provisions. </p> <p >So, he took the time to create new orders regarding army provisioning and ensure that the General Commissary had the manpower to do what it...

  The Battle Begins–August 20, 1776

  Aug 20, 20262 minS0

  <p >It’s been coming for at least two months, and the Battle of Long Island has finally begun. </p> <p >As we’ve noted a few times the past couple of days, George Washington had to make a few educated guesses about what the British were planning to do, but this left his troops thinly spread throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, which left the Continental Army at a big disadvantage. </p> <p >While numerous skirmishes have broken out up and down the coast between the British and American militia forces from time to time, this was Washington’s first major tangle...

  Not Making It Easy–August 19, 1776

  Aug 18, 20262 minS0

  <p >The reason that this portrait—and most of the others—of Rufus Putnam is in profile is that, when he was a child, one of his eyes was disfigured in an accident, giving it a, “outward, oblique cast.” </p> <p >Putnam joined the Revolutionary War effort the very first day, after the battle at Lexington and Concord. During the Siege of Boston, Putnam directed efforts to fortify Dorchester Heights. Part of what had the British so flummoxed about that wasn’t that he did a good job (though he did), it was that he managed to get it all up and in...
