Washington Crossing the Delaware and The Battle of Trenton at the Mendham Township Library

On Tuesday, December 1st at 7pm, join historic lecturer Michael Jesberger as he presents Washington Crossing the Delaware and The Battle of Trenton at the Mendham Township Library.
Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River and the Battle of Trenton were part of the Ten Crucial Days campaign of 1776. This was a major turning point in the Revolutionary war – this dramatic victory boosted the battered Continental Army’s morale and provided a much needed victory for Washington’s troops. Join “Mr. US History” Michael Jesberger as explores the firsthand accounts of the river crossing, the details of the nine-mile march to Trenton, the battle and the impact left behind for us to remember today in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Michael will provide a view into history that won’t be found in many history books. He shares historical details in a way that captivates his audience and takes them back in time.
