Summary "The Campaign of Trenton 1776-77" by Samuel Adams Drake is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The book examines the significant military campaign during the American Revolutionary War, particularly focusing on the events surrounding the battles of Trenton and Princeton. Through its exploration of these critical military engagements, the text likely highlights the leadership of George Washington and the resilience of the Continental Army amidst adversity. The opening of the book establishes the context of the campaign, describing the dire situation faced by the American forces as they retreated through New Jersey after suffering defeats. Drake emphasizes the turning point for the Revolutionary cause, detailing the urgency for a surprise attack on the Hessian forces stationed in Trenton, which Washington ultimately executed during an unconventional winter's march. The author depicts Washington's strategic decisions, his interactions with his officers, and the morale boost that the Continental Army experienced following their unexpected victory at Trenton. This victory not only reinvigorated the American resolve but also marked a crucial shift in the momentum of the war. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
