Christian McBurney, "Spies in Revolutionary Rhode Island," Eight Bells Book Lecture, Naval War College Museum, April 16, 2015.

Espionage played a vital role during the Revolutionary War in Rhode Island, both during the British and French occupations of Newport and Aquidneck Island.  While most people learned about Benedict Arnold or Major André, McBurney’s research found that spies were quite prevalent in Rhode Island during the Revolutionary War.
