I'm in the midst of reading David McCullough's 1776. It has a very good account of the engagement on Long Island and subsequent withdrawal. I'm continually amazed at the fortitude of the fledgling American army during those days. Tougher men than I.

Another great quote by Historian George Trevelyan of the night of the battle of Trenton in 1776.
"It may be doubted whether so small a number of men ever employed so short a space of time with greater or more lasting results upon the history of the world." )
