An illustrated account of the dramatic crossing of the Delaware that established George Washington''s reputation as a commander of daring and ability.
Pursued by British forces, Washington and his remaining 5,000 men resolved on a risky strike against the British and Hessian positions across the Delaware River. Crossing the river, Washington took the Trenton garrison for the loss of only four men, before outflanking Cornwallis'' 8,000-strong force and marching on Princeton.
His military reputation established, Washington''s victory restored American morale, giving the battered continental army a pair of much needed victories, and turned the tide of the war. Accompanied by maps and illustrations, this slim yet detailed volume is ideal for anyone interested in American military history and modern warfare.
