Morton Memorial Library Hosts Author Thomas S. Wermuth: "Fire & Freedom: The American Revolution in New York"

Oblong Books and Morton Memorial Library team up to present Thomas S. Wermuth, author of "Fire & Freedom: The American Revolution in New York," in conversation with Dick Hermans.

Many of the revolution's key moments can be traced to New York: city crowds rioted against colonial taxation, and George Washington spent one-third of the war in and around the soon-to-be "Empire State." Beyond these well-known players and moments, however, lies a trove of new information on New York's hidden revolutionary stories. With a foreword by acclaimed historian Russell Shorto.
