250 Years Ago Today: The Battle of Brroklyn. The British army, led by William Howe, flanks the American army through a pass that George Washington failed to defend. The Americanss suffer around 2,000 casualties. By nightfall most of Washington's army is trapped on Brooklyn Heights, Only a lucky fog and the valiant efforts of the Marblehead, Massachusetts regeiment to row the entire army to Manhattan saves the army. By morning only Henry Beekman Livingston and his three companies are the only American Forces left on Long Island.
