Of course everyone’s different, but we asked 20 ladies for their biggest turn ons, and collectively their answers paint a pretty vast and detailed picture. Even though I can recognize the historical inaccuracies in a film I don’t let them bother me anymore if it’s otherwise entertaining cinema or tv. Outside of Setauket a bigger problem is brewing.

My source material included the Journals written by the Major, correspondence of General John Stark and the works by J.R Cuneo an B.G. It may only be anecdotal, but I recall it being mentioned that Rogers was the only man Washington was afraid of. (IMO, a justifiable complaint is that the accents aren’t consistent; Jaimie and Heather (Abe and Anna) sound Irish-ish, yet Abe’s father, Richard (played by Kevin) is the most American sounding of the primary characters. Jamie Bell does a good job, but for many other characters I had to interpret for my students because, due to the accents, they could not follow the dialogue. More importantly to me as a teacher, the accents made the ornate language of the time even more difficult for my 7th graders to follow. This will also present a great opportunity to get people interested in the Rev War and we at the Fort Plain Museum will embrace the opportunity. Another is that at one point Woodhull has to name some suspected Rebels and he emphasizes them to be Presbyterians, which speaks to how the loyalties of Long Islanders sometimes followed religious lines, with Anglicans and Quakers being more Loyalist-leaning.

Several of us “historians”, “re-enactors”, and “site interpreters” (Yorktown for me) who appear in the show wrestled with the inevitable compromises inherent in a TV production. Some of this may be an issue with these first few episodes – the Culper story was slow to develop, so we may be seeing more set up here with some more interesting points to follow. Why is the CGI so laughable?) The show’s position opposite Game of Thrones will reduce its audience–I watched On Demand. We feature smart, groundbreaking research and well-written narratives from expert writers. Overall, the major dynamics of the times and the Culper Ring come together in a style that is both thrilling and accurate – with some artistic allowances for the medium. Why? For me, this is a goal probably unintended by the producers. They also pulled up gravestones and used them to fashion ovens–or at least so we were always taught. I don’t actually care – I watch the show because I enjoy seeing the how the show portrays the dynamics and struggle of the Revolution, and it gets those dynamics correct. Spoilers ahead! that others might complain of.

As you mention, the Patriots in New England conducted intelligence activities before and after hostilities began. By acknowledging that TURN is “based” on Alexander Rose’s book, the producers challenge us to separate historical fact from historically based fiction. Yes Todd, lets hope that at least the show will inspire the uninitiated to seek further information about the spy networks and the Rev War in general. Use Twitter, Facebook, etc. methinks historians can get it wrong, too. We are two more episodes left and I am sad that it is ending. I can’t find so far anything that he was is brutal Real life as he was in the series, but I loved how he presented it; he is one of my most adored actors in the show to not like! Real-time works perfectly well for single-character actions games, and turn-based is better when you're dealing with parties and rulesets that normally come in multiple books. The show is highly entertaining, but that’s just COMPLETELY ERRONEOUS! Of course–April Fools! 6. Richard’s undermining of Abe and Anna’s fictional engagement and pressuring Abe into marrying a girl whose family leaned more to his political liking is exactly on target in presenting the patriarchal dominion of that time. She achieves her glossy, computerized style with the assistance of a digital tablet and Photoshop. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from a decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged.”, https://www.gilderlehrman.org/sites/default/files/inline-pdfs/AppenA.pdf, This helps to explain Samuel Johnson’s 1775 question: “How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?”. I wish they had this series when I was in high school because I would’ve been a lot more interested in the Revolutionary war. I saw many of the inaccuracies (I read Bakeless’s SPIES OF THE REVOLUTION when I was in 5th grade in 1969, and still own that battered Scholastic paperback in my collection of more serious Revolutionary War volumes) but did not mention any of them to the students. I’m grinning to myself as i’m reading this. The Welshman. Loescher on Rogers Rangers.

I’ve written fiction for a long time, and I’ve always tried to make my characters real for the reader. AMC provided Journal of the American Revolution an early screening of the first three episodes. If it provokes curiosity in the times, the War and our founding, that’s a double; if it sells more books on the subject, that’s a triple. For those interested, all the characters in the story are buried in and around Setauket–many in that Presbyterian church’s very graveyard. Sharp-eyed viewers may notice other items that raise some questions. Characters include:The Governess,Mrs. How black marketing, or “the London Trade,” as it was known, applied to the Culper Ring’s formation is one example. This is the list of recurring characters on Turn: Washington's Spies who appeared (or were heard) live in two or more comics or episodes of a season. I haven’t watched TURN yet, so hopefully this issue doesn’t apply, but a lot of AMC shows tend to drag on without really getting anywhere. Among the primary characters only Robert Rogers (Angus) and Caleb Brewster (Daniel Henshall) are bearded. While it’s admirable to show our knowledge and ability to pick apart TURN’s accuracy, consider for a moment the artists who painted scenes from the time and got it wrong too–Leutze’s Washington Crossing the Delaware (http://edsitement.neh.gov/emanuel-leutzes-symbolic-scene-washington-crossing-delaware) or Turnbull’s Signing of the Declaration of Independence (http://www.history.org/Foundation/journal/Winter11/painting.cfm) Do the errors make these paintings less heroic, iconic or entertaining?

While Iove a good show about the revolution, I wince at the fact that once again the British any anyone who support them are the “bad guys” (see the sexualy threatening redcoat, described as a “psycho” as the only British character mentioned [though… they’re all British in a sense]). Through her transformations, Joaslin aims for "unique colors" and uses a style that she has been developing for years. Your email address will not be published. The show is entertainment, advertised as “based” upon Alexander Rose’s book, and the show-runner, Craig Silverstein has openly admitted to “invention”, particiularly regarding the personal lives for the various charachters (see http://insidetv.ew.com/2014/07/04/turn-season-2-craig-silverstein/ ). The series also shows the tumultuous times of the Revolution, when cosmopolitan New York City was the biggest military target in America and citizens in its surrounding areas harbored secret suspicions and mixed loyalties. I was also hooked within 5 minutes. Whenever history meets Hollywood, the truth, to a certain degree, is a causality, because drama triumphs a history lesson. As a “TURN” background cast member I’m thrilled to see these JAR comments. After all, you can always write scenes and have people walking around in them. Rogers was a remarkable man, treated shamefully by the British……….he deserved better. Primary examples for me include Sleepy Hollow (which even if you buy into the premise still leaves a great deal to be desired in it’s historical accuracy), the director’s cut of Kingdom of Heaven, HBO’s John Adams (the Join or Die episode is particularly bad, but there are errors throughout), Gladiator, and many more which make for excellent tv or movies but poor history.

Looking forward to catching up on all the episodes since. The sad truth is the opposite. And please allow me to recommend, with all due humility, my own book, “George Washington and the Final British Campaign for the Hudson, 1779,” which discusses how mutiple intelligence sources from the tactical to the operational levels came together in the 1779 campaign. So take a few steps back, watch how the story unfolds, then check out Washington’s Spies or the original Culper correspondence that still exists in the George Washington Papers, The Writings of George Washington, and other document collections.

Lisa; Fandom Apps Take your favorite fandoms with you and never miss a beat. The Cornish and the Welsh are closely related, so there could well be mannerisms, idioms, etc., which might “mark” him as Brythonic, but I’m still wondering about Anna’s comment.

At the recent seminar in Williamsburg I purchased some books by John Nagy on the spy networks to have on hand if I desire clarification or more information. 28-year-old Finnish artist Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen has grown up with Disney cartoons, and the animated characters have become his … I’m only guessing, but perhaps Alexander Rose chose the term “America’s First Spy Ring” for his book title because the Culper Gang (as it has also been called) was the first organization recruited, organized, and managed to provide intelligence. As Woodhull’s father says to him, “Legacy is everything.”  There’s nothing else like “Turn” on television, and it keeps the legacy of the Culper Ring alive in grand style. The writers, directors and cast are very conscious of the implications of having a beard in this period; such that beards are intended as a hint to viewers to question the status or motivation of unshaven characters. Sunday at 9 used to be the sweet spot in television, not so much today. Images: Antony Platt/AMC; hallambell/Tumblr; Giphy. My guess is the reviews will be positive, educational and historical organizations will be supportive and viewers will watch. "What we do know really comes from the correspondence between him and George Washington, and that only gives us a limited account of what this man was like and what his experiences were like," Bell told Collider when the series began. Human interactions were the essence of Revolutionary War spying and that makes “Turn” a character-focused tale. Yet he was a successful author and playright.

Wizardry 8 is a turn-based role-playing game in its purest form. I wish that directors could do for shows what Bernard Cornwell does for his books, which is to put a copious afterword explaining exactly what was changed and why. I would add that Mr Kilmeade’s lack of source annotation leads to some circumspection regarding his theories, as without documenting sources for his conjecture it remains simply that, at best. Most of the language is a fair representation of 18th century styles, but some modern terms sneak in, such as when Woodhull tells another character, “This is a one-time deal.”  Actor Angus MacFadyen’s native Scottish burr adds to his portrayal of Robert Rogers as a scoundrel, but may be incongruous with the facts that Rogers was born in America to Irish colonists and grew up in Connecticut. Robert Rogers, from Connecticut, a Scotsman? The depiction of a British headquarters in a church is a representation of the 1777 occupation and fortification of Setauket’s Presbyterian meeting house (Benjamin Tallmadge’s father was the minister) by the Loyalist commander Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hewlett. I’m sure you’ll find it fascinating, as I have. The timeline is also a little early for Tallmadge’s unit of Continental dragoons, which wasn’t formed until the end of 1776 and did not operate in Connecticut until the summer of 1778. It’s possible that the series, which is based on a different book on the topic, was conceived after Kilmeade’s book came out. I’m sure there are many fans who love the show but realize it may not be completely accurate, and go searching for more information. Michael’s too modest.

As we’d earlier spent a day studying and experimenting with various 18th century spying methods (laundry on the line, paper masks over letters, invisible ink) the children were jubilant to see the petticoat, etc. I don’t recall the scalping alive of Frenchmen — perhaps I’ve forgotten, perhaps Roberts didn’t know of it, perhaps it’s a calumny. Mr. Normington; 1 This essay builds on “Rethinking Character,” a long essay just published in a book I co-wrote with Amanda Anderson and Rita Felski: Character: Three Inquiries in Literary Studies (University of Chicago Press 2019). Each person will act in accordance with their speed and then the enemies … Still, if it gets people to look up the real Abraham Woodhull, it doesn't matter if Turn takes a few — pardon the pun — liberties with the truth. Mr Townsend was not yet recruited and did not join the Culper Ring until 1779. As far as how they see the war today — the comments certainly were interesting. And the real Culper Ring story did not develop in a way that suits an interesting narrative; the Culpers worked for months and discovered things that were certainly valuable to Washington such troop strengths, unit locations, Loyalist activities, naval movements, and political developments. I suspect the insertion of the Trenton scene is to illustrate the type of information Woodhull gained while providing a touchstone to viewers.
