Setauket, Long Island - then and now 📍

1778: Abraham Woodhull's spy headquarters, surrounded by British patrols
2025: Quiet Long Island town, most residents unaware of its Revolutionary War significance

History hiding in plain sight. #Setauket #HiddenInkComics #CulperRing #LibertysInvisibleInk

Abraham Woodhull lived three lives simultaneously: farmer, father, spy 🌾🕵️
Imagine the psychological toll. Tending cabbage crops while memorizing British troop movements. Reading bedtime stories while planning dead drops. Attending church with the same officers you're spying on. #HiddenInkComics

Anna Strong's laundry code was genius in its simplicity 🧺
Black petticoat on the line = Caleb Brewster is in the area, meeting tonight
Number of white handkerchiefs = which cove he's anchored in (1-6)
Sometimes, the best hiding place is right in plain sight. #AnnaStrong #CulperRing #HiddenInkComics

Sunday question for my new Bluesky friends: What's your favorite spy story (real or fictional)?

I'll start: The Cambridge Five absolutely fascinates me. Five Soviet spies were at the heart of British intelligence for decades. Truth really is stranger than fiction.

Did you know the Culper Ring operated for 5 years without losing a single agent?

In an era when most spies were hanged within months, these Long Island farmers built a network so secure that some members' identities remained unknown until the 1900s.

The Culper Ring's invisible ink formula was so secret, it wasn't rediscovered until 2011!

They called it "sympathetic stain" and George Washington was so paranoid about it falling into British hands, he numbered the bottles.
