During the Revolutionary War, more Americans lost their lives in the prisons and prison ships of New York City than from any other cause – very nearly twice as many as those who died in combat. This is the first-ever scholarly study of their experiences and how they would be remembered, celebrated, memorialized, and largely forgotten over the past 200 years. |
