It was a gorgeous day in the city yesterday for the Urban Park Rangers hike in Fort Greene Park commemorating the Prison Ship Martyrs. It was just one event taking place as part of Battle Week, the annual commemoration of the Battle of Long Island. The two rangers were excellent and the crowd engaged. I met a lot of interesting folks. As if one cue, earlier today the editors at Emerging Revolutionary War Era uploaded my article about the history of the martyrs and the monument dedicated to them. If you live in Greater New York, note that events are taking place around the city through next Sunday.
