Description: This book delves into the often-overlooked experiences of Long Island during the American Revolution. Through a collection of primary sources, including personal accounts, military orders, and receipts, the author paints a vivid picture of the hardships and sacrifices endured by the island's inhabitants. Caught between the Continental Army and British forces, Long Island became a battleground where loyalties were tested and lives were forever changed.

These intimate stories offer a powerful testament to the human cost of war and the resilience of those who lived through it. By shedding light on this forgotten chapter of American history, this book invites us to reconsider the complexities of the Revolution and its impact on ordinary people.
