About This Book
A brigade of Massachusetts mariners under the command of General John Glover saved George Washington's Continental Army from certain defeat at the battles of Long Island, Pell's Point, and Trenton by their training at sea, and their general's attack tactics.
At any one battle, failure would have meant the surrender of the American army and the collapse of the Revolution. General Glover is remembered today in his home town and with a statue in Boston, but little acknowledged elsewhere in the nation as the savior of the American cause.
