His first dispatch was dated June 19, 1779. 112shares Share Tweet What if you were an anime character? I love history and enjoy learning about it but have little time to truly research it and watching it peaked my interest enough that I am here. That could not have been easy. This is the list of recurring characters on Turn: Washington's Spies who appeared (or were heard) live in two or more comics or episodes of a season. Mr. Selden; By the way, if the spirit moves any readers after watching one or more episodes of the series, write to AMC. As for beards… The governess is the primary narrator and central character in The Turn of the Screw. Mr Townsend was not yet recruited and did not join the Culper Ring until 1779. Still, it is a good show and with me lining out the difficult dialogue, my students were completely engrossed and clamoring for more. 1. And the white wigs that the British characters wear were out of style during the Revolution so I found them a little distracting. Characters have to be condensed, timelines shortened or moved around, etc. No statues of Woodhull means there's no word on if the real guy was as hot as Jamie Bell in a beanie. 10 Fictional Characters Based On Real People. London has numerous statues of soldiers. That said, detail-oriented Revolutionary War enthusiasts will spot plenty of historical faux pas. Robert Rogers and John Graves Simcoe were the bane of Rebels on Long Island, though the series takes some liberties with their roles. And therein lies the best reason to watch “Turn.” The spies that made up the Culper Ring did so not for money (they barely received compensation for their expenses), or recognition (most never spoke of their activities), or personal gain (spying was frowned upon at the time). Other reviews say that it takes too long to get to the spying part, but if that’s so, historians should take heart – the Culper Ring was slow to come about and if that’s reflected in the show, then that’s great in my book. TURN is by no means perfect, and for some inexplicable reason seems intent on veering from history when the real events and chronology would often be more intense, interesting and suspenseful. I’m not sure why I did not see these comments until today, when I was prompted by the new review of TURN’s first season to look back at my earlier post. When the various riders departed Boston on the night of April 18, 1775, they were essentially on an intelligence mission. There is a very good argument that slaves reaching England were able to win their freedom. The elements I noted above are certainly important to the Culper Ring story but they are not its core. Whatever inconveniences, therefore, may follow from a decision, I cannot say this case is allowed or approved by the law of England; and therefore the black must be discharged.”, https://www.gilderlehrman.org/sites/default/files/inline-pdfs/AppenA.pdf, This helps to explain Samuel Johnson’s 1775 question: “How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?”. And along with Mr. Mark I also will be curious to see what ratings “Turn” can muster. If I may quote that great social commentator, Groucho, “I find television very educating. That audiences as disparate as squirrelly 7th graders and my middle-aged sister with zero interest in history were so passionately involved in a story about the American Revolution proved to me the show’s worth. Turn any art into an animated character with your webcam, powered by Adobe Sensei AI. First, only men could fight, so that left women and children who fled to British lines incapable of earning their freedom. I think there will be enough of the thriller-stuff (as SPM so aptly put it) to keep audiences engaged. His life story would prove an exciting and action packed drama for a mini-series. Even if every visual was poorly done or incorrect, if one curious viewer gets interested in the period, we all win. Many historical teasers within the show were thoroughly investigated before their inclusion (“Marco Polo”, for one). I stopped watching The Walking Dead, which, being about zombies should be a sure thing, right? ... Brewster and Tallmadge existed in real life, as did almost all of the other main characters of the show. Working with Rose, the production staff strove for historical truthfulness in everything from plot to set details. Paul, thanks for mentioning the breeches on the baby. We all know that AMC's Turn: Washington's Spies is rooted in real American Revolutionary War history â but that can mean a lot of different things when you're talking about television. Itâs a really interesting question. Why are there so many beards? Iâll divide it into 3 section including the realistic answer, almost-realistic answer, and hypotethical answer. I still disagree with the decision to make Americans sound British. So, the responsibility is huge because weâve literally never seen him before and weâve never heard of him before." Yes. It will be very interesting to see the series rating. But both are good, interesting reads and are useful as pointers for further research. As television, this is good watching. (Why do so many of the colonists with no Irish roots sound Irish? Muddying that difference to me seemed pointless. The series accurately depicts the major factors that brought the Culper Ring together, such as how the Continental Army had to build an intelligence arm from nothing in the midst of the New York campaign and how Tallmadge formed a spy network with people who knew each other in Setauket. The show is not a factual resource, nor is it intended to be, regarding the individual histories of the named primary characters. By acknowledging that TURN is “based” on Alexander Rose’s book, the producers challenge us to separate historical fact from historically based fiction. But the Parliament’s Transportation Act, prohibiting British registered vessels from carrying slaves, was not made permanent until 1807 (a year before the US passed its version and three years before Spain, Holland and France passed theirs). Historical faux pas? I’m sure you’ll find it fascinating, as I have. For those interested, all the characters in the story are buried in and around Setauket–many in that Presbyterian church’s very graveyard. Historically inaccurate? I would add that Mr Kilmeade’s lack of source annotation leads to some circumspection regarding his theories, as without documenting sources for his conjecture it remains simply that, at best. Perhaps not, but as an artifice of the show it communicates that the Roger’s character is an outsider to both the Continentals and British alike.). And apparently the link to Townsend was only recently discovered through a handwriting comparison that IDs him as Cupler Jr. Benjamin Tallmadge was the intelligence visionary as he’s shown, and went around his commander (who had little interest in clandestine operations) to build a successful spy network. My source material included the Journals written by the Major, correspondence of General John Stark and the works by J.R Cuneo an B.G. For me, this is a goal probably unintended by the producers. For generations, literature students have been told never to treat characters as if they were real people. Seems like the only thing that has changed is the tar and feathering (I still wonder why we quit doing that). What would you look like? I agree with Don. I found this decision by the casting director FAR more vexing (because it made the show more difficult to grasp and seemed so completely unnecessary) than the time shifts, distortions of historical people, etc. Possibly. Richard’s undermining of Abe and Anna’s fictional engagement and pressuring Abe into marrying a girl whose family leaned more to his political liking is exactly on target in presenting the patriarchal dominion of that time. Would the average viewer have trouble discriminating between the fact and fiction? It appears as though this production will be fodder for the reenactors given its glaring inaccuracies. One show could be based on a seed of truth, and another show could be meticulously researched, and both could claim to be "based on a true story." Most of the language is a fair representation of 18th century styles, but some modern terms sneak in, such as when Woodhull tells another character, “This is a one-time deal.” Actor Angus MacFadyen’s native Scottish burr adds to his portrayal of Robert Rogers as a scoundrel, but may be incongruous with the facts that Rogers was born in America to Irish colonists and grew up in Connecticut. Key A character with an "Unknown" status was alive when last seen, but was injured, lost, unsecured or has not been seen for a few episodes. The rest of the British track record is pro and con. Most importantly it shows how Tallmadge’s spies existed in a state of constant fear. I am very glad to see the JAR readers behind the show! I believe what drove the producers to adopt British linguistics was that until 1783, when the treaty of Paris was signed that both ended the Rev War and fulfilled the hope and intent of the Declaration of Independence, those who were living in the British colonies of North America were British. I was about ready to change the channel when I saw that. Why is the CGI so laughable?) In the background ranks, only those portraying fishermen, whalers or refugees are unshaven. John Graves Simcoe truly detested the Rebels but some of the significant things that happen with him in the series simply did not occur in real life. You know, âdetails.â As I am not a television watcher, I have not seen the rest of the series, but my younger sister followed it avidly. What books do you recommend on the Spy Ring? The Lord Chief Justice of England ruled in 1772 in the Somerset case: “The state of slavery is of such a nature, that it is incapable of being introduced on any reasons, moral or political; but only positive law, which preserves it’s force long after the reasons, occasion, and time itself from whence it was created, is erased from memory: It’s so odious, that nothing can be suffered to support it, but positive law. You’re absolutely right, Don and SPM. Great suggestion, SPM. Star Jamie Bell says portraying a character who's a real person, but not necessarily in the history books, he feels pressure to get the story right. As a non-historian, I can offer myself as anecdotal evidence that Turn generates interest in the Revolutionary War. I’m sure there are many fans who love the show but realize it may not be completely accurate, and go searching for more information. They also pulled up gravestones and used them to fashion ovens–or at least so we were always taught. Outside of Setauket a bigger problem is brewing. He needs to be fully comfortable in his skin.â He could equally be viewed as a cut-throat who once tracked a pair of Frenchmen 30 miles or more through the forest to catch and scalp them alive within full view of a French fort; persisting, if not setting off, the heinous trade in scalps that persisted on the frontier throughout the F&I war. Those North Americans undoutedly sounded far more like Britains than they would sound like modern Americans. The biggest discrepancy I found was that Captain Simco is represented much differently in the series than he apparently was represented in Canada where he ended up going. Overall, the major dynamics of the times and the Culper Ring come together in a style that is both thrilling and accurate – with some artistic allowances for the medium. The ship had missed its landfall for a watering stop and fearful of running out of water the captain ordered 138 slaves thrown overboard. A minor altercation with a British officer lands Abraham in trouble with Crown authorities, and his father Richard (Kevin R. McNally) lists the Setauket families that support the Rebel cause saying they chose the wrong side. I also guessed the reason behind the beards with Caleb Brewster and Robert Rogers. I’ve worked in television for 40 years and continue to do so. When you read British letters of the period you frequently run across complaints about the impenetrability of the horrid Yankee accent. I wondered at finding this article on a history site–then noted the date it was posted. The show is highly entertaining, but that’s just COMPLETELY ERRONEOUS! You might notice that in most crime fiction the murderer rarely has a middle name or initial. Some really interesting primary source work here. It’s dark, intriguing and well produced and the historical inaccuracies didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment. I heard of the Culper spy ring, Simcoe and Andre on those many visits. I finally was able to watch it and let me say that within five minutes I was completely hooked. Woodhull hopes to stay out of the conflict but British troops occupy Long Island and the king’s soldiers are ever-present. 1 This essay builds on âRethinking Character,â a long essay just published in a book I co-wrote with Amanda Anderson and Rita Felski: Character: Three Inquiries in Literary Studies (University of Chicago Press 2019). And its fun – I sincerely hope you continue to enjoy it and that such enjoyment triggers you to research factual histories of the people and events depicted – they are truly fascinating! The depiction of a British headquarters in a church is a representation of the 1777 occupation and fortification of Setauket’s Presbyterian meeting house (Benjamin Tallmadge’s father was the minister) by the Loyalist commander Lieutenant-Colonel Richard Hewlett. Read up on Rogers and Simcoe; fascinating characters whose exploits illustrate the turmoil that took place on Long Island during its occupation. Interestingly, this complaint is the leading review of the show on IMDb. Great article with great points. I really appreciate the context and want to provide you with answers and background. Through her transformations, Joaslin aims for "unique colors" and uses a style that she has been developing for years. As far as how they see the war today — the comments certainly were interesting. I’m looking forward to seeing how they will show that portion of the story. "Woodhull, who began running the groupâs day-to-day operations on Long Island, also personally traveled back and forth to New York collecting information and observing naval maneuvers there," the site reports. All of the actors deliver strong performances and it’s a pleasure to watch them bring the characters to life. Heâs of that level, to this country. ... though obviously some liberties were taken to turn him into more of a badass than he was in real life. Verily, once people are interested, once they invest mentally in the story, hopefully they’ll read some books and visit our sites, where we can correct the details. Joaslin transforms photographs of real people into Disney-like characters. Good history. What follows is a stylish spy story with the heroes, villains, plot twists, tension and coded messages you would expect. I agreed to silence and enjoyed it without groaning more than a handful of times. A list of all the characters in The Turn of the Screw. I also winced a bit during the scene when Woodhull learned about the Hessians going to Trenton; of course no such exchange occurred in real life, and there are other similar wince-inducing scenes. And I’m glad to see that you’re reading the real Culper story. As for the British characters, I can only recommend you watch the series and see if and how they develop beyond what’s shown in the previews. Their portrayals represent composite depictions of what was happening to the general population of that time and the various factors influencing their lives and actions, be they Loyalist, Congresssional, or uncommitted colonials simply seeking to survive as the vagaries of war ebbed and flowed around them. I literally translated some of the dialogue as we watched. 6. There are actually very few characters in the show with beards. I guessed most of these reasons. Now multiple that research by tens of thousands of viewers and we have an exciting new generation of RevWar enthusiasts, which is nice. But little is known of the Culpers private lives, which must be created for the show. TURN: Washington's Spies (TV Series 2014â2017) cast and crew credits, including actors, actresses, directors, writers and more. Now you have me wondering if breeches on babies is the Revolution’s equivalent to The Fonz “jumping the shark”? New York City is now a British base and the Americans need spies in the city to report on Crown plans, but as a Continental dragoon commander tells his subordinate, Captain Benjamin Tallmadge, “We have no friends in New York.” The forward-thinking Tallmadge (Seth Numrich) plans to develop a spy ring in the city, and it involves civilians including his boyhood friend, Abraham Woodhull. They didn’t just collect tidbits of information; Washington sent them detailed questions and they responded with detailed answers. 28-year-old Finnish artist Jirka Vinse Jonatan Väätäinen has grown up with Disney cartoons, and the animated characters have become his ⦠And I’ll continue to read about the real thing. The Revolution forces citizens to consider where their loyalties lie. Yes, parts do make me cringe at times, and to enjoy this show one definitely has to allow the writers to take their liberties. On the failings of Robert Rogers: having read Kenneth Roberts’ NORTHWEST PASSAGE at age 12 (and since) I am fully aware of Rogers’ strengths and his appalling weaknesses. I knew nothing about Revolutionary-era spycraft, but I’m looking forward to learning more. Most importantly for an intelligence organization, they worked for their army commander. Even after André rose to the Army staff, he was naïve and inexperienced in the spy business, not the master of intelligence as presented in the series. The present essay remixes some elements taken mostly from the ⦠When it comes to Unscripted Film and TV, people are getting sick of characters in New York and Los Angeles. It’s just too hard to do in that sort of medium. However, in my opinion the social prohibition against beards was so strong that what would have made far more sense would have been to have them “unshaven” rather than bearded. I also bought a few books. The Perfect Penis, According to 105 Women >>> âSomeone who knows who he is. Whenever history meets Hollywood, the truth, to a certain degree, is a causality, because drama triumphs a history lesson. Just as it is important to consider the war from the British perspective at the time, it is also interesting to see how they look at the war today. Danger, secrets, intrigue and revenge were all part of the Culper spy ring, and the new AMC series “Turn,” premiering April 6 (Sundays 9/8 central), offers a fascinating look into how these intrepid American spies helped win the Revolutionary War. And before the scene with the Hessians I enjoyed how Woodhull wanted to enter King’s College but found his way blocked by soldiers, which I think speaks to the strain of the war (although alas, the real Woodhull did not attend King’s College as far as I know). http://www.deadline.com/2014/04/amcs-revolutionary-war-spy-drama-turn-unfurls-with-2-1-million-viewers-watching/. As you mention, the Patriots in New England conducted intelligence activities before and after hostilities began. However the placement of a horse stable in the same room as a senior officer’s headquarters seems a bit of a stretch. Could the writers have done a better job of meshing the facts with the fiction? I'll take the opportunity to recommend John Grenier's The First Way of War: American Warmaking on the Frontier to your readers as well.…, This article is extremely important in this time period. Given the sad state of our national historical awareness, if a slightly tainted but compelling story line earns viewer investment; leading intelligent people to post 600 comments on the fan site within two days; debating historical Revolutionary facts in chat rooms and coffee shops, then we historians can be offended yet elated simultaneously. There are some interesting performances–Burn Gorman’s slightly sympathetic Brit & J J Feild’s dashing John André stand out. Alexander Rose’s excellent book Washington’s Spies: The Story of America’s First Spy Ring, provided the basis for the series and as Executive Producer Barry Josephson explained in a telephone interview, Rose was integral to production. Major Hewlett says that they’ve abolished slavery in Great Britain in episode 4. Caleb Brewster (Daniel Henshall), one of Woodhull’s compatriots, really was a tough and fearless mariner. Respectable men shaved whenever possible. Interesting article, thanks for writing it. All rights reserved. Another is that at one point Woodhull has to name some suspected Rebels and he emphasizes them to be Presbyterians, which speaks to how the loyalties of Long Islanders sometimes followed religious lines, with Anglicans and Quakers being more Loyalist-leaning. But, I also noticed other things: how Woodhull had to wear a red cockade in his hat in New York City to show his allegience – as real Loyalists did in NYC. Why? I showed the pilot to my 25 seventh graders who are studying the Revolution. Use Twitter, Facebook, etc. But unlike Sleepy Hollow, where the writers enjoy not having ANY limitations to how they create their story line, the writers of “Turn” faced the daunting task of creating a compelling drama within the actual constraints of the events of the Revolution and the Culper Ring story. For example, Judge Richard Woodhull is mis-presented as a Loyalist, but that enables TURN to tell the harsh reality of the many families torn asunder by divergent views on American independence from Britain. There is much indication that reverence for his F&I conduct is misplaced. I don’t know why everyone who writes fiction seems to think it’s more interesting to have cardboard villains instead of dealing with the moral grey area and the moral ambiguity of the birth of America. I wish that directors could do for shows what Bernard Cornwell does for his books, which is to put a copious afterword explaining exactly what was changed and why. AMC provided Journal of the American Revolution an early screening of the first three episodes. As an example, some who made it inside the British occupation of New York City and served, perhaps around 2,000 people, were offered transportation to Canada at the end of the war along with other Loyalists who departed New York City in 1783. (also bearded?). You’re correct: proper, conventional British citizens of the time were clean shaven (customs were different among Spanish, German folk). Forgive my coming late to this party–I just watched the pilot this AM: did I hear correctly, that Anna Strong identified Simcoe as “that Welsh officer”? The series also shows the tumultuous times of the Revolution, when cosmopolitan New York City was the biggest military target in America and citizens in its surrounding areas harbored secret suspicions and mixed loyalties. They’re more interested in turgid character study that simply entertaining. The case was a civil suit and therefore did not carry the weight of law, and in the end Mansfield ruled that there was no law defining the rights of a colonial planter to transport a human being from the country against his will, and since there was no law defining the situation, Somersett could not be forced to return to Jamaica. There is also an article on the topic in the Journal of the American Revolution special hardcopy edition. I only “know” what I heard (or think I heard) his character say & what I’ve read on Wikipedia (so far) but he’s not portrayed as having a Welsh accent, and “Simcoe” is apparently Cornish in origin. I saw many of the inaccuracies (I read Bakeless’s SPIES OF THE REVOLUTION when I was in 5th grade in 1969, and still own that battered Scholastic paperback in my collection of more serious Revolutionary War volumes) but did not mention any of them to the students. The dialogue, plot and production design address some very real factors that were in play during the Revolution. Journal of the American Revolution also produces annual hardcover volumes, a branded book series, and the podcast, Dispatches. Take advantage of this by exploring the great characters in your own neck of the woods. More readers of JATR would, of course, be a home run. Woodhull is accurately shown as a conflicted man who nevertheless follows a strong moral compass. TURN in Real Life: Abraham Woodhull, Setauket, and the Real Culper Spy Ring. Reading and trying to decipher all of your quotes and information. I admit stealing traits of people I know, or strangers I observe, and putting those traits into my characters to help them feel like real people. You just make up a name for your character and give her a description â a job, a wardrobe, a pet. Thanks for the insights, Jim. My family had a home in Setauket for 30 years. At least I hope so. Major John Andre probably wasn’t the smooth operator portrayed in episode two, but that allows for the factual juxtaposition of trained British espionage practitioners versus neophyte rebels. Robert Rogers’ parents were Scot but they were scalped in New Hampshire when Rogers was about 14; would he have retained the accent? I hope that provides some points to consider and adds to you – and the class’ – viewing experience. How a guy carries himself is a big turn on/off. So, what about the main character on AMC's spy show? (IMO, a justifiable complaint is that the accents aren’t consistent; Jaimie and Heather (Abe and Anna) sound Irish-ish, yet Abe’s father, Richard (played by Kevin) is the most American sounding of the primary characters.
