Washington's Christmas night escape and Trenton victory
The narrative recalls Washington's Delaware crossing and the Trenton assault, detailing Ball's Hessians, the warning message, the ensuing victories, prisoner counts, and the stiffening resolve of troops as winter hampered enemy plans. It follows the march to Princeton, protests over discharges, and Lincoln-like resolve to press on for a broader campaign.
