Ep 256: The Fog of War and Humanity with Richard Acritelli and guest Bob Chartuk (Part 2) on hmTv:
Podcast Description:
In part two of their conversation, host Richard Acritelli and journalist–historian Bob Chartuk explore Long Island’s pivotal role in the American Revolution. From William Floyd’s restored Mastic estate to Tangier Smith’s Manor of St. George, they trace the battles, raids, and sacrifices that shaped the nation’s early struggle for independence.
Chartuk recounts the daring raid of Colonel Benjamin Talmadge and his dragoons, the burning of British hay at Coram, the first-ever Purple Heart awarded by George Washington, and the heroism of General Nathaniel Woodhull. Along the way, they connect the past to present-day Long Island landmarks, where musket holes, cemeteries, and preserved estates still tell the story of freedom hard-won.
A deep dive into Revolutionary War history—told right where it happened.
