Fluid Loyalties: A Fordham Farmboy Navigates the Revolution

Join us at the Bronx Beer Hall for a free lecture by Dr. J Keith Doherty of Philipse Manor Hall about Andrew Corsa and his experiences during the American Revolution.  Corsa was part of a prominent family in Fordham Village and remembered as an American patriot and one of Washington’s “Westchester Guides” during the Revolution.  But Corsa had a complicated history of shifting allegiance during the war.  Dr. Doherty will unpack this history and speak more generally about the complex nature of the Revolution.
