Learn the little-known history of the forgotten American Revolution
Battle of Pell's Point and the heroism of John Glover. General
William Howe and the mighty British-Hessian Army possessed the
golden opportunity to cut-off, trap, and then destroy General
George Washington's Army before he could retreat north and escape
from Harlem Heights, New York, when he landed his army at Pell's
Point north of New York City. Howe's bold amphibious operation
north of Washington's Army threatened to end the life of the
Continental Army and the revolution. However, the brilliant
delaying actions of Colonel John Glover and a small force of New
England Continental troops saved the day and Washington's Army by
preventing Howe's advance inland to intercept Washington's route of
retreat to White Plains. Employing brilliant delaying tactics when
outnumbered by more than five to one, Glover inflicted heavy losses
on the attackers to ensure that Washington's Army survived to fight
another day. Ironically, the Battle of Pell's Point has been
perhaps the most important forgotten battle of the entire American
Revolution. In Saving Washington's Army, renowned historian Phillip
Thomas Ticker, PhD, recounts the little-known story of the Battle
of Pell's Point and the heroism of Colonel John Glover with the
care and attention-to-detail for which he is known.
