Washington's Crossing

Provides an account of a pivotal moment in American history - the Christmas night crossing of the Delaware River to mount a sneak attack on British and Hessian troops at Trenton, New Jersey.

Six months after the Declaration of Independence, the American Revolution was all but lost. Yet Washington--and many other Americans--refused to let it die. This dramatic and colorful narrative of a pivotal moment in American history--George Washington crossing the Delaware--is "highly realistic and wonderfully readable" ("The New York Times Book Review").
