Primary Documents:
Bostwick, Elisha. "Narrative of the Battle of Trenton by Continental Soldier Elisha Bostwick." Eyewitnesstohistory.com. Dec. 2012. This is a narrative written by Elisha Bostwick, a soldier who fought in the Continental Army in the battle of Trenton. This is a primary source because Bostwick was directly involved in the battle and his writing reflects what he has been through. Because movies and tape recorders didn't exist in the 1770s, my biggest challenge was finding primary sources, such as letters, quotes, newspaper

articles, and narratives. This is why I decided to post part of Bostwick's entry on my website, on the page entitled: "Points of view." Council of Safety. "CONGRESS received the following Intelligence from the Council of Safety, as coming from "an Officer of distinction in the Army."" Baltimore 27 Dec. 1776. DavidHanauer.com. David Hanauer. Dec. 2012 <http://www.davidhanauer.com/buckscounty/washingtoncrossing/misc/washington_acco unt.html>. This is the second narrative I found that was written by a soldier who fought in the Battle of Trenton. This soldier's narrative was published in a newspaper entitled "Baltimore" on December 27, 1776; however, his name is withheld and instead replaced by: "An Officer of Distinction in the Army." I thought narratives would be neat to put on my website because they really show what parts of the battle were like, kind of like a movie, but in a written form. Fitzpatrick, John C., and David Hanauer. "George Washington to Alexander McDougall." Letter to General Alexander McDougall. 28 Dec. 1776. The George Washington Papers at the Library of Congress. The Library of Congress. Dec. 2012 <http://www.davidhanauer.com/buckscounty/washingtoncrossing/misc/dec_28_1776.htm l>. I consider this letter from Washington to General McDougall a primary sources because it was written directly after the Battle of Trenton, on the 28th of December. This letter accurately captures the Continental Army's success at the Battle of Trenton: "I hope that the late success at Trenton on the 26th. and the consequences of it, will change the Face of Matters not only there but every where else. I crossed

over to Jersey the Evening of the 25th. about 9 Miles above Trenton with upwards of 2000 Men and attacked three Regiments of Hessians, consisting of 1500 Men about 8 o'Clock next Morning. Our Men pushed on with such rapidity, that they soon carried four pieces of Cannon out of Six, Surrounded the Enemy, and obliged 30 Officers and 886 privates to lay down their Arms without firing a Shot. Our loss was only two Officers and two or three privates wounded. The Enemy had between 20 and 30 killed." "John Jay to New York 1776." Letter to The Inhabitants of New Yor. 23 Dec. 1776. John Jay's Christmas Address 1776. 27 June 2009. Library of Congress. Nov. 2012 <http://1776faith.blogspot.com/2009/06/john-jays-christmas-address-1776.html>. This is an address from John Jay, the congressman of New York, to his people. He persuades the inhabitants of New York to keep on fighting for independence even when times get tough. This address, in the form of a letter, is a primary source because it was written by John Jay in 1776 right before the Battle of Trenton, and is his reaction to the campaigns that were a setback to the Continental Army. Lehrman, Gilder. "Henry Knox to Lucy Knox." Letter to Lucy Knox. 28 Dec. 1776. The Guilder Lehrman Institution of American History. Guilder Lehrman. Dec. 2012 <http://www.gilderlehrman.org/history-by-era/war-for-independence/resources/henryknox%E2%80%99s-order-march-trenton-1776>. I consider the letter from Henry Knox to his wife, Lucy Knox, a primary sources because Knox was the artillery officer who served a seminol role in the Battle of Trenton. His letter tells about his experience crossing the Delaware River and of all the impedements along the way.

Pitzpatrick, John C. "George Washington to Continental Congress, December 27, 1776." Letter to John Hancock (The President of Congress). 27 Dec. 1776. Washington. 441-44. George Washington Letter. The Animated Atlas. Dec. 1776 <http://www.animatedatlas.com/revwar/washington1.html>. This letter from Georgre Washington to John Hancock is a primary sources since it was written right after the Battle of Trenton, on the 27th of December, but a person who fought in it. Washington's letter demonstrates how much confidence he had after the Battle: " have the pleasure of Congratulating you upon the success of an enterprise which I had formed against a Detachment of the Enemy lying in Trenton, and which was executed yesterday Morning." Thomas Paine. The American Crisis: December 23, 1776. Brochure. Author. U.S. History. Dec. 1776 <http://www.ushistory.org/paine/crisis/c-01.htm>. The first edition of the American Crisis, written by Thomas Paine and published as a series of brochures, is a primary source because it was written right before the Battle of Trenton by a figure who was informed about the condition of the Continental Army. Before this battle, the British were gaining much advantage, and the Continental Army was left demoralized and contemplative about continuing to fight for independence. Thomas Paine's reaction to this is published in the first "American Criris" edition written on December 23, 1776, in which he states that the Americans shouldn't give up fighting for independence.

Primary Books:
The American Revolution: Writings from the War of Independence. New York: Literary Classics of the United States, 2001. Print. This was a very helpful book because I found many quotations and many letters in here written by George Washington. It is a primary source because all these documents and letters were written around the time of the Battle of Trentonthey aren't modern day narratives. Fischer, David Hackett. "Washington's Crossing." Washington's Crossing. 2004. Oxford University Press. Dec. 2012. This book was the most helpful to me in conducting my research because the author, a historian, is well-versed and used may quotes in his writing. These quotes pertained exactly to what I had written in my rough draft, so I decided to make a photo slideshow with pictures and the quotes I got from "Washington's Crossing." Reading this book not only gave me a better understanding of what was going on, but also the emotional and more personal side. What I especially like abou the author's use of quotes is that a majority were said by the British and Hessians, and were about what they thought about the Continental Army. This gave me a wellrounded view of the Battle of Trenton. "Washington Crossing Historic Park." Pennsylvania Trail of History. 2004. Stackpole Books. Dec. 2012. This book made me figure out how the New York Campaign started and eventually lead to the Battle of Trenton. It all started when British and Hessian troops landed on Staten Island in the summer of 1776, after the Declaration of Indepedence was

signed. I consider this a primary source because after I looked up this book, I found out the writers used primary documents and quotations. ______________________________________________________________________________

During their retreat from Long Island, the Continental Army was forced to give up Fort Lee. However, it protected the British from invading by sea, and when it fell, the British had control over the Hudson River port. This illustrates how defeated the Continental Army must have been after Long Island. "Campaigns of 1776." Campaigns of 1776. US History. Dec. 2012 <http://www.u-s-history.com/pages/h1280.html>.

Secondary Pictures:
"The Battle of Trenton Map." Jan.-Feb. 2013 <http://www.westpoint.edu/history/SiteAssets/SitePages/American%20Revolution/11Tre ntonBattle.gif>. This map shows the path Washington and his army took to the town of Trenton, and is a secondary source because it isn't directly from this time period. However, it was very helpful in understanding how Washington's army approached the Hessians at 3 different angles, successfully capturing them.

This picture was helpful on my "Background- a closer look" page. "Battle of White Plains." Jan.-Feb. 2013 <http://www.britishbattles.com/images/white-plains/map.gif>. This map depicting the Battle of the White Plains is helpful in understanding the actions taken by the Continentals and the British.

Documentaries:

Of the whole documentary titled: "The American Revolution: Washington and Arnold," the 1st part of the 3rd episode helped me in reaching a conclusion about the Battle of Trenton. This is why I included a clip under my "conclusion" page. I consider it a secondary source because it is an interpretation of the Battle of Trenton and primary sources were used to come upon a conclusion.

Gingrich, Newt. "Christmas Day in 1776: George Washington's Victory or Death (Documentary)." TherePublicView.com. <http://www.republictruth.com/christmas-day1776-george-washingtons-victory-or-death/>.
