Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The History of New Jersey, Vol. 2 of 2: From Its Earliest Settlement to the Present Time; Including a Brief Historical Account of the First Discoveries and Settlement of the Country The following account of the battle of Trenton is copied from the Pennsylvania Journal of 1781: "About eight o´clock in the morning, an attack was made on the picket-guard of the enemy. It was commenced by a youth of eighteen, who fell in his retreat to the main body. "At about half-past eight o´clock the town was nearly surrounded, and all the avenues to it were seized, except the one left for General Ewing to occupy. An accident here liked to have deprived the American army of the object of the enterprise. The commanding officer of one of the divisions sent word to General Washington just before they reached the town, that his anmunition had been wet by a shower of rain that had fallen that morning, and desired to know what he must do. Washington sent him word, ´to advance with fixed bayonets. This laconic answer inspired the division with the firmness and courage of their leader. "The whole body moved onward in sight of the enemy. An awful silence reigned in every platoon. Each soldier stepped as if he carried the liberty of his country upon his single musket.
