Many thanks for bringing to light the efforts of the Sag Harbor Historical Museum to advance a deeper understanding of our village’s significant role in both heroism and suffering during the American Revolution, a central focus of the museum leading up to the celebration of the 250th anniversary in 2026.
The Battle of Sag Harbor and its larger significance in the American conduct of the Revolution, the patriot military strategy adopted for Long Island Sound, and the parallels leading to the final victory at Yorktown four years later, have been an area of my personal interest and research for years. I could not be more delighted to see this story getting such an opportunity for advancement.
Many, many, thanks.

Early voting begins this weekend in Suffolk County. There are many conservative-leaning voters and Republican-identified voters who will go to the polls and feel either a desire or an obligation to vote the party ticket. What I am asking of...
I agree with Rosalyn Jennings [“No Lecture,” Letters, October 17], and her friends, that Kamala Harris can come off sometimes as “lecturing” and that she can sometimes falter under the fairly weighty subjects she is addressing. She is educated, rational...
“Ban Religious Tyranny” [Letters, October 17] was a poor choice of The Press opinion staff for the headline on the Klausners’ letter last week decrying their anger over a despicable anonymous letter they received from a severely misguided individual who...
