….. Princeton, December 25, 1776 – January 3, 1777

"December 1776: Just six months after the signing of the Declaration of Independence, George Washington and the new American Army sit on the verge of utter destruction by the banks of the Delaware River.

This now infamous ten-day period over New Year 1776-77 would seem to be a niche area in that regard:

"The 10 'most brilliant' days in world's history."

"— One of history's most important battles"

"a military exploit of unparalleled brilliancy."

"…the only man, on whom the eyes of all Israel were placed. … This American Joshua was raised up by God, and divinely formed by a peculiar influence of the Sovereign of the Universe, for the great work of leading the armies of this American Joseph … Who but a Washington, inspired by Heaven, could have struck out the great movement and maneuver of Princeton? … The United States are under peculiar obligations to become a holy people unto the Lord our God."
