This exciting approach to history brings together period images and Walter Krudop's stunning full-color art, along with text from the past and present, to shed light on the critical role Washington's crossing of the Delaware and the Battle of Trenton had in the American colonies' military fortunes.
A young, present-day narrator takes the reader on a tour of the House of Decisions and recounts the desperate circumstances in which Washington and his men found themselves on Christmas Eve, 1776. One more loss, one more retreat, and the Continental Army would be finished - a war ended almost as soon as it was begun. The letters of a fictional American soldier, Harry, and quotes from Washington, his officers, and his men highlight their desperation and their determination to succeed.
