Answer 1

On the night of August 29, 1776, Washington silently smuggled his 9,000 men across the mile-wide East River to Manhattan under cover of a dense fog. As the fog lifted the following day, Washington was gliding away on the last boat, having saved his army… and possibly the future nation.14 Feb 2014
