That was beautiful!! The most patriotic poem I've ever heard. The Battle of Trenton was a short, but decisive battle that swung in Washington's favor, boosted morale, and kept the Revolution alive.

I got a deluxe edition set of the complete 5 volume biography of George Washington by Washington Irving, for Christmas. Probably the best book about George Washington ever made. It’s a shame it’s not more widely known about.

[@mountvernon]

Irving's biography is certainly one of the best biographies of the 19th century. We retain a set in our in the Washington Library at Mount Vernon. You can learn more about the creation of the biography on our Digtial Encyclopedia: www.mountvernon.org/library/digitalhistory/digital-encyclopedia/article/washington-irving/

I'm listening 'To Try Men's Souls', by Newt Gingrich in my car. How appropriate to watch this video. Great job!

No mention of unsung hero Hector Heathcote who plugged the boat so it could cross the Delaware.

[@patriciafinney7233]

Love that he named the Mass. soldiers. Made it seem very real. Loved it.
