SUMMARY:Lecture: David Price "The Road to Assunpink Creek: Liberty's Desperate Hour  and the Ten Crucial Days of the American Revolution"
DESCRIPTION:As part of the Fall 2019 Lecture Series sponsored by the Sons of the\nRevolution in the State of New Jersey\, David Price will speak about his\nbook “The Road to Assunpink Creek: Liberty’s Desperate Hour and the Ten\nCrucial Days of the American Revolution” on Tuesday\, October 15 at 7 PM.\nBooks will be available for purchase in the Quartermaster’s Store Gift\nShop. \nThe Road to Assunpink Creek puts a spotlight on what may be the most\nunappreciated moment of a young nation’s revolutionary struggle when George\nWashington’s army narrowly escaped destruction to keep alive its fight for\nAmerican independence \nPerhaps no military action in our country’s history is more paradoxical\nthan the one on the road to Assunpink Creek\, and at the bridge that crossed\nit\, in the sense that its obscurity in the public mind and neglect by many\nhistorians is so disproportionate to its impact on the course of a conflict\nwith global implications. The Battle of Assunpink Creek on January 2\, 1777\nwas the second in a sequence of three victories by George Washington’s army\nduring the “Ten Crucial Days” of the American Revolution—the period from\nDecember 25\, 1776 through January 3\, 1777. Those rapid-fire triumphs\, the\nfirst significant successes by the Continental Army\, reversed the momentum\nof the war when it appeared that America’s quest for independence from\nGreat Britain was on the verge of total defeat. \nIn this deftly crafted narrative\, the author explains how Washington’s\ndesperate gamble paid off when the Continental Army fought a daylong\nrunning battle against a militarily superior foe and made a successful\nstand with its back to the Delaware River\, avoiding the very real threat of\ntotal defeat and setting the stage for a dramatic counterattack against a\nsurprised enemy. Price weaves what we know about these events into an\nexciting and unforgettable story and illuminates what most historians treat\nas an afterthought. \nThe full lecture schedule is:\nAll lectures begin at 7 PM and the Museum Shop opens at 6:30 PM\nTuesday\, October 15: David Price – The Road to Assunpink Creek\nThursday\, October 24: John Gilbert McCurdy – Quarters\nTuesday\, October 29: Hal Taylor – Before Penn\nMonday\, November 4: Kenneth Gossard – Thalers and Pence\nThursday\, November 14: Peter Stark – Young Washington\nThursday\, November 21: Joyce Malcolm – The Tragedy of Benedict Arnold
