Just six months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington and the Continental Army sit on the verge of utter destruction by the banks of the Delaware River. Rather than submit to defeat, Washington and his small band of soldiers crossed the ice-choked Delaware River and attacked the Hessian garrison at Trenton, New Jersey on the day after Christmas. He followed up the surprise attack with successful actions along the Assunpink Creek and at Princeton. In this lecture, Mark Maloy will discuss the stunning military campaign that allowed Washington to turn the tables, and breathe life into the dying cause for liberty during the Revolutionary War.Mark Maloy holds an undergraduate degree in History from the College of William and Mary and a graduate degree in History from George Mason University. He has worked at numerous public historic sites and archaeological digs for the past fifteen years and currently works for the National Park Service. He is the author of two books on the Revolutionary War, Victory or Death: The Battles of Trenton and Princeton and To the Last Extremity: The Battles for Charleston, both part of the Emerging Revolutionary War book series.
