The Battle of Trenton: An Historical Narrative in Verse

A wonderful example of 19th century romanticizing of a historic event, Hamilton Schuyler outdid himself in telling the story of George Washington's famous attack on the Hessian outpost at Trenton. Filled with Americanized German, incredibly brave American boys, this epic poem is over the top to 21st century readers. The George Bradshaw pen and ink illustrations are priceless. ( )
