Soft cover. Condizione: New. No Jacket. Pamphlet. In the closing days of December 1776, the American colonists must have feared that their bold declaration of independence would soon be only an insignificant, minor event, in the history of English rule in the New World. The remnants of the American army in Pennsylvania, led by General George Washington, were fading away and in a few clays would apparently cease to exist. Across the Delaware River, the English forces had gone into winter quarters and were awaiting the start of a final campaign in the spring of the coming year, when they would crush any remaining American force. Chance had placed a brigade of Hessian hirelings in the most exposed English outpost at Trenton. The commander was a Hessian colonel of demonstrated courage and fighting ability, Johann Gottlieb Rall, hero of White Plains and Fort Washington, battles which had driven the Americans out of the New York area. However, on 26 December the course of history was to take a sharp and sudden change when the two commanders clashed. Washington's army of some 6,000 men crossed the Delaware River in a blinding winter storm and attacked Rall's brigade of about 1,500 men, consisting of three regiments, Lossberg, Knyphausen, and Rall, plus a few jaegers and some English light horse troops. In the fighting which followed the Americans had only a handful of casualties, including James Monroe, later to be the fifth president of the United States. Hessian casualties amounted to about 900 men killed, wounded, and captured, including Colonel Rall, wounded during the battle, who died the same day. The usual description of Washington, which all American school children are taught, is that he was a tall, dominating figure, who overawed everyone with his presence. Likewise, the description of Colonel Rall, as taught in our schools, is that he was a drunken, overbearing, brute of a man, who considered the American soldiers unfit to be called such. It is true that he had a poor opinion of the Americans as fighting men, but in the following pages the reader will find an indication that neither Washington nor Rall were quite what we were taught in school.(1996), 2012, 5.5" x 8.5", paper, 16 pp. [B0661].
