Carp delves into this intriguing mystery set in New York City, the strategic centre of the Revolutionary War. In 1776, it was the most crucial location in North America. That summer, an unruly rebel army under George Washington repeatedly threatened to burn the city rather than allow the British to take it. Shortly after the Crown's forces took New York City, much of it mysteriously burned to the ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the first book to fully explore the Great Fire of 1776 and why its origins remained a mystery even after the British investigated it in 1776 and 1783.
