Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of the Rise, Progress, and Establishment, of the Independence of the United States of America, Vol. 3 of 4: Including an Account of the Late War; And of the Thirteen Colonies, From Their Origin to That Period My Dear Sir, The military operations in Pennsylvania, are to be 1777, the subjects of our immediate attention. About a fortnight after the German-town battle on the 19th of October, the royal army under the command of Sir William Howe removed to Philadelphia. Measures being concerted between the general and admiral for clearing the Delaware of its obstructions, the former ordered batteries to be erected on the western or Pennsylvania shore, to assist in dislodging the Americans from Mud-island. He also detached a strong body of Hessians across the river, who were to march down and reduce the fort at Red-bank, while the ships and batteries on the other side were to attack Mud-island. Count Donop commanded the detachment, consisting of three battalions of grenadiers and the regiment of Mirback, beside light infantry and chasseurs.
