1778: THE ROADS TO MONMOUTH

Following the British evacuation of Philadelphia, Washington’s army departed Valley Forge, reoccupied Philadelphia, and set off to harass Crown forces as they crossed New Jersey fleeing to Manhattan Island. That pursuit crossed Hunterdon County on the way to the battle at Monmouth Court House, but what route(s) were taken to get to Hopewell? Join historian John Allen as he explores the options.
