7. NOW LETS READ ABOUT IT TO SEE WHICH WAS
BETTER!
In a letter dated December 3, 1776, General George Washington writes to
Congress from his headquarters in Trenton, New Jersey, to report that he had
transported much of the Continental Army's stores and baggage across the
Delaware River to Pennsylvania.
In his letter Washington wrote, Immediately on my arrival here, I ordered the
removal of all the military and other stores and baggage over the Delaware, a
great quantity are already got over, and as soon as the boats come up from
Philadelphia, we shall load them, by which means I hope to have every thing
secured this night and tomorrow if we are not disturbed.
Washington then made the critical strategic move of confiscating and burning all
the boats along the Delaware to prevent British troops from pursuing his
beleaguered forces across the river. –History.com

8. • In this masterful book, David McCullough tells the intensely human story of those who
marched with General George Washington in the year of the Declaration of
Independence—when the whole American cause was riding on their success, without
which all hope for independence would have been dashed and the noble ideals of the
Declaration would have amounted to little more than words on paper.
• Based on extensive research in both American and British archives, 1776 is a powerful
drama written with extraordinary narrative vitality. It is the story of Americans in the ranks,
men of every shape, size, and color, farmers, schoolteachers, shoemakers, no-accounts,
and mere boys turned soldiers. And it is the story of the King’s men, the British
commander, William Howe, and his highly disciplined redcoats who looked on their rebel
foes with contempt and fought with a valor too little known.
