It was November 1776, a time of trouble for our young country. We were fighting for our independence from Britain, and the war was not going well. The British had defeated General George Washington and his men on Long Island, driven them out of New York, and were pursuing them across New Jersey.
In the face of sickness, hunger, and winter cold, George Washington led his ragged army of patriots across the Delaware River. They had one last chance to surprise the British -- but could they succeed? Lynne Cheney, the author of the acclaimed national bestsellers America: A Patriotic Primer and A is for Abigail, brings her acute sense of our shared history to this classic story of great bravery against enormous odds.
Accompanying the text are oil paintings by renowned artist Peter M. Fiore, which invoke the action, emotion, and splendor of this turning point in the American Revolution.
