5 Comments on Washington Crosses The Delaware River
Washington was one tuff sum’bitch.
He was the Patton of his time.
Or, Patton was the Washington of his time.
I can’t even imagine how hard it must have been back then. I’m glad they saw it through.
AMERICANS
Willing to cross a frozen river to kill you.
In your sleep,
On Christmas.
It is great fun watching the reenactment of Washington’s crossing. Everyone looks to be having a good time. Some bring food and tailgate. The park is lovely with historic buildings and tours during the summer. The history and old colonial homes in Bucks County, PA and Hunterdon County, NJ are treasures.
Many American soldiers marched 8 miles to the enemy in the dead of winter snow, sleet and rain even though they had no shoes.
