Thank you Tara. The British capture of Philadelphia proved to be a difficult prize to keep. I haven't been to the Delaware but, I can visualize the scene you paint. The Americans proved to be a smarter and tougher force than the British had hoped and planned.

The Americans were knowledgeable about the British difficulties. I am glad they were. Made for a positive outcome. Waiting patiently for the next part of this story.
