| Publisher Description: The focus of this book is the Revolutionary War in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. And while the primary focus is on military operations, major political events are included, also, such as the First and Second Continental Congresses, and the approval of the Declaration of Independence in 1776. Of course, we'll examine Washington's victories at Trenton, Princeton, Whitemarsh and Monmouth, as well as his defeats at Brandywine, Fort Mifflin and Germantown. And, we'll examine the miracle of Valley Forge, where a former Prussian officer turned the Continentals into an army to be reckoned with. But we'll also look at lesser known battles, such as Crooked Billet, Gloucester, Springfield and Wyoming. This book has 75+ illustrations. |
