In his fascinating new book, Bermudian Historian and Author Michael G. Marsh painstakingly unravels the truth about Bermuda's GREAT GUNPOWDER PLOT of 1775.
Early in the American Revolution (War of Independence), the American Rebels were dangerously short of gunpowder. We learn that a desperate, newly-appointed General George Washington wrote a letter to the People of Bermuda, a British Colony, inviting them to steal a large quantity of gunpowder right from under the nose of the loyal English Governor of Bermuda, George Bruere. If the thieves had been caught, they could have been hung as traitors and thieves. To the British Governor, it was a ‘most heinous and atrocious Crime’. To General Washington, it was a gift from heaven. Mike has sifted through the historical records and in this talk delivers a special, illustrated summary of this hair-raising tale of midnight skulduggery and daring and we finally discover what actually transpired.
