About this Event
Christmas Day, 1776, Washington's army looked down the jaws of defeat. 10 days later, the war had turned. Join the winter patriots who marched with Washington, fought, and died in frigid temperatures during those “times that tried men’s souls”. Through meticulous primary source research and masterful storytelling, author William L. Kidder corrects the record and presents what we now know about how Washington exploited his enemy’s hubris by leading his upstart army in daring maneuvers that humiliated His Majesty’s forces in just ten short days that changed the course of history.
Larry Kidder offers the definitive talk on the 10 Crucial Days, a topic so important to the American Revolution and Hunterdon County History, it will be re-offered as our finale of our series "On the Threshold of Independence, Hunterdon County 1775-1776" on December 18, 2026 at 7pm at the Hunterdon County Historic Courthouse in Flemington.
Free. Reservations required. Free refreshments follow.
