Revolutionary New York: Washington’s Slow Retreat to Victory

When is retreat a tactical victory? Washington and the Continental Army couldn’t hope to go toe to toe against the greatest military force the world had ever seen and survive.  The New York campaign was central to Washington’s unorthodox military strategy and the fate of our nascent nation hung in the balance. Hike with the Urban Park Rangers along a lesser-known battle site which marked the tipping point to Washington’s slow retreat to victory!
