S2E21, "The Sequel to the Crossing"

Today’s episode is the last in a series of three episodes about the crossing of the Delaware River.  We had a Christmas Special that talked about the famous crossing and the issues with the famous painting.  The second episode was the “Prequel” to the crossing.  Today’s episode is “The Sequel” to the crossing and focuses on the days and months that followed the famous crossing and the Winter quarters established in Morristown, NJ.  We hope you enjoy this episode and we thank you for being a part of Revolutionary War Rarities, the podcast from The Sons of the American Revolution.  Please invite others to join our Facebook Group, subscribe on YouTube, follow us on Instagram and check out our website at fastfunhistory.com.
