BOOK DESCRIPTION
General William Howe and the powerful British Hessian Army had a golden opportunity to cut off, trap, then destroy General George Washington's army before it could retreat north and escape from Harlem Heights , in the State of New York, when he landed his army at Pell's Point. north of New York. Howe's daring amphibious operation north of Washington's army threatened to end the life of the Continental Army and the revolution. However, the brilliant delaying actions of Colonel John Glover and a small force of New England Continental troops saved the day and Washington's army by preventing Howe's advance inland to intercept the retreat route from Washington to White Plains. Using brilliant delay tactics while outnumbered more than five to one, Glover inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers to ensure that Washington's army survived and fought another day. Ironically, the Battle of Pell's Point may be the most important forgotten battle of the entire American Revolution. In Saving Washington's Army, renowned historian Phillip Thomas Ticker, PhD, tells the little-known story of the Battle of Pell's Point and the heroism of Colonel John Glover with his characteristic care and attention to detail.
