The Uncertain Revolution: Washington & The Continental Army at Morristowm
West Creek, NJ: Cormorant Publishing, 2007. Hardcover. Fine, fresh copy in equally fine dust jacket. Large 8vo Hardcover. 350 pp. Illustrations. Noted New Jersey historian John T. Cunningham tells the story of the forgotten winters of 1779-80 when George Washington's Continental Army camped in and around Morristown and Middlebrook in northern New Jersey. The earlier Valley Forge encampment is rightly legendary but in fact, that winter was a reasonably mild one compared with the brutal winter of 1779-80. The army survived a smallpox epidemic at Morristown, a season of short supplies at Middlebrook, a dire mutiny on New Year's Day 1781 all the while playing a cat and mouse game with the unpredictable British general George Clinton. Fine / fine. Item #E34568
