Do You Know Where George Washington Got the Courage to Cross the Icy Delaware River, During a Blizzard?

In the 1700s, war was fought with very conventional methods. One thing that was not conventional was attacking a superior force, through a life-threatening blizzard!

That is exactly what General George Washington did on Christmas morning, 1776. The resulting attack against the superior Hessian (German mercenaries) force led to the Hessian’s defeat, turning the tide of the war at a critical time for American Independence.
