General George Washington's crossing of the Delaware River lives on in a famous painting, but the unforgettable true story of that night is unfamiliar to many people. Washington's daring act boosted sagging morale, shocked the British, and convinced potential allies such as France that the Americans meant business.
Critic Reviews
“This series chronicles lesser-known events of the Revolutionary War. . . .The content is fascinating and the fact that a topic that is the main emphasis in one book is mentioned in other volumes in the series will cause readers to feel the connections.”
