ABOUT THE BOOK
After the Revolutionary War broke out in 1776 and New York City had fallen, the forces of Great Britain developed a network of forts along the length of Long Island  in order to create a defensive front against patriot assaults from Connecticut. Lost British Forts of Long Island uncovers the lost history and harrowing stories of these fortifications.
