God was with them, for sure.
About 7 or 8 years ago, on Christmas Day, the husband and I went to Washington’s Crossing State Park in Pennsylvania to watch a re-enactment of the Crossing. They do this twice every year. The first time is about a week before. They refer to it as a rehearsal.
Highly recommend the experience if you can get to that park. Really brings it home.
Providence, indeed.
My wife and I went there in late December. 1992 I think.
The park ranger told us that the weather that day was very similar to what Washington’s army had to deal with back then.
