You say he was a member of the Culper Spy Ring? Can you provide any information to substantiate that? Hercules is my fourth great grand-father.

Thank you for your assistance.

I first heard of Hercules Mulligan in a webcomic about the American Revolution. Curious as usual, I googled his name and came across this. I can’t believe I haven’t heard of him before! It was really interesting, and I’m glad I got to learn about it. I’ve always been interested in history, especially American History (especially around the Revolution). Thanks for putting this up! c:

I am 85 and long as I remember George Washington
was my hero. I never knew about Hercules Mulligan,
until about a month ago. It is an astounding
story!Thank God that our Founding Father’s and
their courageous supporter’s, such as Hercules Mulligan, were there to make our Nation.

While listening to a spy discussion on Fox New Channel today, a contributor opined that our country would be very different had it not been for Hercules Mulligan. Never heard of him. Did a Google search. The Foundation Forum is #1 on their list. Great story. Thank God for Hercules!!

Hello Drew. Welcome to my blog, and thanks for reading and leaving your comment.

Your English teacher organized a school play about New York patriots like Hercules Mulligan? That is neat to know! I bet you had fun. I’m so glad to know that this article was helpful to you, and that you are inspired by the story of Hercules and Cato in your speaking engagements.

Thanks for your comment.

Hello Bruce. Welcome to my blog; thanks for reading!

I agree; so many “little people” helped forge this great nation who, though unknown to us, were indispensable to our nation’s independence.

Thank you for your comment.

My 9th grade english teacher, Mr. Flynn (JHS 16 Corona, N.Y.) had us put on one of those plays for the school and he appointed me Hercules Mulligan. I was a quiet kid who only liked to read the Daily News with Mr. Flynn This scared me to death but he was adamant.

There was a lot of controversy because he gave the only Black kid in the class the lead. Everyone said “I should be Cato” but not until I read THIS article did I know Cato was Black. The real teacher story here is that Now I publicly speak a lot and I love it but before each speech I mumble to myself; “Hugh and Cato we must get the Constitutional Curant to the Sons of Liberty.” Cato replies, “That’s easier said than done Sir…

Good to know he was a REAL patriot!
