This program is offsite inside Beachwood's Mayo Park Center: 501 Beacon Ave. Beachwood, NJ 08722

The intriguing and little-known story of the Revolutionary War conflicts between a runaway slave called Col. Tye fighting for the British and his Patriot foe. The extralegal hanging of militia Capt. Joshua Huddy in Highlands, New Jersey created an international incident when George Washington resolved to hang a British P.O.W. in retribution. These incidents threatened the success of the Paris Peace Treaty talks which were saved by the intervention of the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette.

This program is in recognition of America's 250th Anniversary.

Sponsored by the Ocean County Library Foundation.
