"Uneasy but did a convincing mastery and solid grasp of military strategy beyond any of his peers and candidly surveyed the British forces that summer."
"Did he find out a sublime a characteristic Hamilton?"
"Yes he prognosticated which later made him the sole clairvoyant unbeaten at that context in the early days of the American republic."
"He thought about Burgoyne?"
"Yes that he would be tempted to move down Hudson enroute new York,with the "enterprising spirit he has credit for,I suspect may easily be fanned by his vanity into rashness".
"It could be ruinous..."
"Yeah as he assumed..'unless Sir William Howe 'rushed from New York City the redcoats to strengthen forces and in line with British way that acted often like fools barely believed Howe would be that smart.Often accurate with the startling prophecy that Howe would undertake a hardy endeavors of trying to rashly seize Philadelphia.
The risk of massive armada at long stretches vanishing at sea in the epoch of uncivilized mode of communication portends higher .The British forces under general Howe commanded over eighteen thousand soldiers and two hundred and sixty seven ships in late july left the new York harbor and a week later departed into Delaware Bay and returned back in bay in late August .
Hamilton devised a plan to block his entrance into Philadelphia and informed Gov.Morris ...."
"Yeah,he could be rash sometimes ".
"Sure we speculate with data sometimes too.He was rash when he says "...Our army is in high health and spirits......I would not only fight but I would attack them,for I hold it in established maxim that there is three to one in favour of the party attacking." The bloody clash though was in favour of the attacking sides,the Americans lost a tally of 1,300 Americans killed unlike the British lost twice that casualties."
"What a bloody clash "
"They later burnt a flour mills at Daviser's ferry in the company of Captain Henry Lee father of Robert Lee and eight cavalrymen to avoid it been taken over by the enemy troops .They noticed the approaching British dragons and fired accordingly a warning shot."
"At that point I had watched a film "a flat bottomed boat was moored by Hamilton at the river's edge....."
"Good, that scene was plotted for an escape route with three comrades leaped into the craft and moved off from shore.On the other hand Lee and others took off on horseback."
"I could recall in a Lee's confession the Hamilton's boat was raked with repeated volleys....."
"Exactly from their carbines resulting in the death and injury of two of his men .They finally sailed to safety in the face of struggling against raging currents brought about by recent rainfall."
"Could you recall the message he forwarded to John Hancock immediately after the incident panting for breath?"
"He urged that the continental army be evacuated immediately from Philadelphia?"
"Good very much encyclopediac."
"Then captain forwarded a letter to Washington which announced Hamilton's death prior to his return to headquarters at Morristown.He said he died in the Shuylkill"
"Intrigue to take his position as the second man in America?"
"Maybe.Could you believe what happened?"
"I didn't know that part."
"They were jubilation and mockery of laughters when the supposed corpse was brought in through the door."
"Did Hancock not read the letter?"
"He did and read it to the continental Congress shortly after adjournment later that night.That they should evacuate for there might be attack on Philadelphia by daybreak.Before midnight gone many departed and abandoned the city after midnight.John Adams got the information that woke him up by 3.am according to him after he was confirmed of the dire forecast.Then grabbed his horse and sped away with belongings alongside other congress men before dawn.He wrote:"Congress was chased like a covey of partridges from Philadelphia to Trenton from Trenton to Lancaster"often in his evocative manner.
"I think they stalled a week or two prior to invasion."
"That gave Washington opportunity to replenish and reequip his troops in the interlude with stratagem to quell the interlopers.The problem with shortage of blankets,horses, clothings was resolved and placed a hundred men under Hamilton and gave him despotic powers.He was authorized to requisition supplies from residents at Philadelphia.It was imprimatur arrangements which if failed could demoralize the army.The orders specified:
