SUMMARY:The Secret Army: Secrets and Spies of the Revolutionary War
DESCRIPTION:A spy is a person who is sent into enemy territory to inspect their works\, ascertain their strength\, and secretly communicate intelligence. In accordance with the rules of war\, a spy\, if caught\, is subject to capital punishment. \nEspionage and spying are the least understood\, yet one of the most interesting aspects of history. Intelligence gathering has traditionally been considered the domain of men. Until recently\, the exploits of women who served as spies have often been overlooked or considered of little importance. \nThis presentation details the fascinating exploits and daring of many of the spies of the Revolutionary War. When many colonists decided to end their relationship with England to become an independent nation\, citizens on both sides of the conflict became agents of espionage. They served as couriers and used various means to convey useful information as agents for both the British and the Patriots. \nPresented by Herb Kaufman\, M.Ed.\, Historian \nSponsored by the Friends of Huntingdon Valley Library. \nIntended for adults. \nPlease R.S.V.P. \nPart of Huntingdon Valley Library’s America 250 series.
