Crossing the Delaware: George Washington’s Greatest Victory

We've all seen the famous painting of General George Washington leading his men across the icy waters of the Delaware River. But what happened next? Today, we're exploring the Battle of Trenton, where Washington struck a devastating blow against the British and their Hessian allies, and discovering how this daring victory helped turn the tide of the American Revolutionary War.

Our guest today is Major Jonathan Bratten, Command historian with the Maine National Guard. He’s the award-winning author of ‘To the Last Man: A National Guard Regiment in the Great War, 1917-1919.’

Produced by Tomos Delargy. Edited by Aliza Dams. Senior Producer was Freddy Chick.
