I have to say, his George Washington was also probably the best in “The Crossing,” a terrific movie if you haven’t seen it. The only thing it did not cover-—which was a miraculous achievement in itself-—was Washington’s RE-crossing of the Delaware that night before British reinforcements arrived with some 800 Hessian prisoners in a sub-zero temperature!

Amongst those Hessians may have been either my ggg-grandfather or gggg-grandfather.
