Just a note on (17 year old) Lt. James Monroe: at Trenton he was badly wounded when asked by Washington (along with a few others) to charge and take an Hessian artillery position.

We were in Princeton (from California) at Thanksgiving, got to Washington’s Crossing right at dusk, and got a beautiful photo. It was cold but clear, and it helped me understand how cold it must have been with snow and ice and the cold.

Thanks for the post.

I'm currently listening to the audio book version. Outstanding.
