Cato (spy)
Cato was an African-American slave who served as an American Patriot spy and courier during the American Revolutionary War. His owner, Hercules Mulligan, was a "sub-agent of the Culper Ring" in New York City.〔Rose, Alexander. ''Washington's Spies: The Story of America's First Spy Ring''. New York: Bantam Dell, a division of Random House, 2007. First published in hardcover in 2006. ISBN 978-0-553-38329-4. p. 226.〕 Mulligan's activities began before the Ring was formed and he operated both independently and in connection with the Ring.〔Knott, Stephen. (''Secret and Sanctioned: Covert Operations and the American Presidency'' ). New York: Oxford University Press, 1996. ISBN 978-0-19-510098-3. Retrieved May 22, 2014. p. 40.〕 Cato was a vital associate in Mulligan's activities, often acting as a courier, in part through British-held territory. Historian Paul R. Misencik has written that Cato was a "faithful accomplice" of Mulligan.〔Misencik, Paul R. (''The Original American Spies: Seven Covert Agents of the Revolutionary War'' ). Jefferson, NC: McFarland, 2013. ISBN 978-0-7864-7794-4. p. 116.〕
An article in the Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine in 1985 stated: "Every estimate of the number of minorities who participated in the American Revolution has been deceptively low...." Cato is among those whose contributions have been mostly overlooked.〔Daughter of the American Revolution. (''Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine'' ), Volume 119. Publisher: National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution, 1985. Retrieved May 21, 2014. p. 85.〕 Other than his intelligence activities with Mulligan, no definite information about him or his life is available.
