"There was total surrender of the rude British soldiers and was bold to say about the enterprises of Trenton and Princeton when he says............"as the dawnings of that bright day which afterwards broke forth with such resplendent luster".It actually showed greenhorns could put to shame veteran British forces.
Consequently the continental army in a hard way regained confidence due to wonderful back to back or bumper victories that made Washington to save Philadelphia from enemy forces.He succeeded in turning things around and gained more time indefinitely to restore adequate numbers to the depleted army ."
"With this victory they did help him to discover Hamilton?"
"Yes but recommendations too also boost Hamilton's chances.When he moved his remainder three thousand men into Morristown in New Jersey...."
"Just thirty miles from new York my sister stays there."
"Exactly.Then he camped them in a splendid valley and formed protective perimeter around them.So,when there was vacancy among Washington's staff he was ideally suited for the position.Four generals uncovered his talent before Washington.Besides Washington,there Lord Stirling, Nathaniel Greene and Alexander Macdougall and any one of them was catalyst for his promotion.But unlike Robert Troup he ascribed foremost influence to Henry Knox continental army's artillery commander and a former bookseller from both Scottish and Irish ancestry.A jolly fellow with humanistic sense of humor known for heroism who dragged artillery across the snow covered expanses in defense of Boston when it was captured at Fort Ticonderoga.They were friends for years,early hardship was nothing new to them and both also were self made.When he lost his mother at 12 he became the 🍞 breadwinner and supported family financially and fed his mother.He too was an avid reader like Hamilton taught himself too warfare from books on military discipline and quizzed British officers who visited his bookshop.
Then on January 20, 1777 he was invited into Washington camp at Jacob Arnold's tavern on greenvillage at Morristown to be his aide-de-camp "
"So he personally invited him not recommendation".
"Yeah and it happened more than two weeks after the fighting at Princeton when he penned the invitation note.Pennysyvania Evening post five days later published the story though indirectly refered to the invitation by Washington and the appointment was announced officially on March 1 and got promoted from captain rank into lieutenant colonel from that date.In less than or fewer than five years shot to limelight from despondent position of a clerk at St.Croix to the aides of America's most powerful man.He didn't jubilate nor did it bother him given his cravings for higher powers in the battlefield.
