Take a break from the election post-mortems and join me on Tuesday, November 15 at 7:30 p.m. as I speak to the Historical Society of Fort Washington at its headquarters, Clifton House, 473 South Bethlehem Pike, Ft. Washington, PA  19034.

General George Washington and the Continental Army were encamped at Fort Washington and Whitemarsh after the Battle of Germantown on October 4,1777 and up until they marched to Rebel Hill and Gulph Mills on December 12, 1777.  I’ll talk about all of this, including the Battle of Whitemarsh that was fought in the area  on December 5 – 8, 1777.

Of course, I’ll talk about The Philadelphia Campaign as noted in my books, Becoming Valley Forge, and Six Days in December: General George Washington’s and the Continental Army’s Encampment on Rebel Hill, December 13 – 19, 1777.

Hope to see you there.  For more information, see my page at http://www.theelevatorgroup.com.
