The story of the Culper Ring wasn’t always as well-known as it is now, which was due to much of the information about it being classified for a long time. It wasn’t until the 20th century that the public gained insight into the existence and activities of this spy network. Since then, the Culper Ring has been the object of scholarly study and discussion, especially in the US. In time, we’ve learned about the ring’s founders, the context of its emergence, its key operatives, methods, and successes.This is a story that weaves its way through a relatively short but decisive period in American history. Behind the main events and the history that everyone is familiar with, the story of the Culper Ring is like a seldom-told chapter that serves as an important piece of the puzzle, regardless of how it might often be overlooked. That is, however, the story that this book will recount in a concise manner so that you can remind yourself of the revolutionary heroes that went unsung for a long time. 3
