New York and New Jersey Campaigns, 1776–1777

Description
In the summer of 1776, after abandoning Boston, several British fleets converged on New York City. After taking Staten Island, the British crossed to Brooklyn and won a string of decisive battles in the New York region. Washington’s troops retreated through New Jersey nearly to Newtown, Pennsylvania. But in the final week of 1776, Washington recrossed the Delaware River and won morale-boosting battles at Trenton and Princeton.
