On August 27, 1776, the Battle of Brooklyn — also called the Battle of Long Island — raged across much of present-day Brooklyn in the first engagement of the American Revolution after independence was declared. What moments during this weeklong conflict helped General Washington and the rest of the Colonial Army miraculously escape from Brooklyn Ferry to Manhattan under cover of darkness and morning fog? It's time to walk through this former battlefield and uncover one of the most pivotal moments in American history. New York Adventure Club | www.AdventureClub.com
