From 1776 to 1781 - the key years of the War of the American Revolution - George Washington fought primarily in New Jersey. He battled not only the British army and their Loyalists and Hessian allies, he battled with Congress, with the weather, for food and military supplies, with disease, and even with some of his own generals. In New Jersey you can find more open-to-the public scenes of his actions than in any other state.George Washington's New Jersey leads you through the war and through these houses and battlefields - places like Trenton and Princeton, where Washington's daring nine-day campaign changed the course of world history. Explore homes like the Ford Mansion in Morristown where Martha joined him during the coldest winter of the entire century, far worse than the winter in Valley Forge.Mitchell, Craig is the author of 'George Washington's N. J. A Guide to the Crossroads of the American Revolution' with ISBN 9780970580412 and ISBN 097058041X.
