Washington Routs Hessian Mercenaries !!!
The eventual Father of our Country George Washington led his previously demoralized soldiers across the Delaware River in a Surprise Attack upon the Hessions encamped at Trenton NJ. This being the Christmas Season we give you a perspective from http://www.britishbattles.com/battle-trenton.htm I had "vowed" not to post to the blog today, and let the "Virginia Christmas Tree" speak for the "Donkey", but we have to acknowledge the "determination, and fortitude of our troops and their, Our Leader" on this day in 1776.
Let us also remember all of our "Troops" serving today, stateside, and deployed overseas. To You a Merry, Merry Christmas Day!!!

I grew up on the otherside of Trenton and saw the re-enactment on the news today. I have been to Washingtons crossing many times and remember that famous painting. Washington actually crossed the river in barges instead of boats.

that explains the cannon, and the horses to drag them. I would hope Trenton, had some kind of underground Militia to spike the english/hession guns, plant IED's in the barracks etc.....
