Middlebrook

Focusing on the often-overlooked encampments of George Washington's Continental Army in Middlebrook and Pluckemin, New Jersey, the book highlights their significance during the Revolutionary War. These strategic locations hosted two major encampments: a challenging seven-week period in the summer of 1777 and a lengthy winter stay from 1778 to 1779. Despite the American Army's nine-month presence, this pivotal site has remained largely forgotten, contributing to a gap in the understanding of the Middle Atlantic campaigns and the broader American struggle for independence.
