Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Documents Relating to the Revolutionary History of the State of New Jersey, Vol. 2: Extracts From American Newspapers The year 1778, which this volume of newspaper extracts embraces, was one of great importance in the military annals of the State of New Jersey. The close of the campaign of 1777 found the Anglo-Hessian army in complete control of Philadelphia, with New York City also under its domination. Winter saw Washington and his troops starving in Valley Forge, and the rich agricultural counties of New Jersey, lying upon the Delaware, the Hudson and the waters tributary to New York bay, exposed to marauding, food-searching expeditions sent out by British commanders. All that had been gained at Trenton seemed to be lost. Early summer, however, brought a change. General Clinton evacuated Philadelphia, and dragging his army, encumbered by camp followers, across the plantation lands and wooded tracts of central New Jersey, met General Washington upon the field of Monmouth. Soon thereafter the second anniversary of the birth of the independence of the United States, celebrated by the American army at New Brunswick, gave New Jersey to the patriotic cause and turned the tide of war to the southward. Thence, until the end of the year, the military events in the State were of such purely local interest as to be of no national importance. It is with the details of these great movements that this volume deals. One finds, in the official reports published in the Whig and Tory newspapers, various tales of the naval fight at Red Bank, not printed until 1778, and the expeditions into Salem and Burlington counties.
