A big thank you to all the attendees of last night's presentation. It was great to see so many familiar faces again, as well as some enthusiastic new "patrons."
I promised some interesting follow-up material, and here it is.
First, the presentation itself:
Next, our reading recommendations:
An excerpt and summary from David Price's recent book, Winning the Ten Crucial Days:
An important book and quick read on the battle of Princeton by Alfred Hoyt Bill:
The classic study of the Trenton/Princeton campaign, dated (from 1898!) but still viable and readable:
The relevant chapter from John Maass'srecent book, From Trenton to Yorktown:
Another chapter, by authority William L. Kidder from a different book, Ed Lengel's The Ten Key Campaigns of the American Revolution:
The VERY recent, and well-done, booklet on the New Jersey Campaign by the US Army's Center for Military History:
Last, but not least, copies of Thomas Paine's Common Sense, in both English and French (thank you François Hensen!):
Again, thanks for coming last night! Look for an announcement shortly on our next presentation as we begin to delve into the tumultuous year of 1777...
