Description: The Town and Country MagazineGen. George WashingtonWar in AmericaThe Delaware October, 1779 "The enemy was now in a strong state of defence. Washington's army, besides the advantages he derived from the inaccessible posts which he occupied, was become very considerable as to number and force. Several bodies of the New England troops, under the General Gates, Person, and Arnold, advanced to the borders of the North River, where they were ready to pass over to the Jerseys whenever opportunity invited, or the necessity of their friends demanded their assistance. At the same time the Jersey militia assembled from all quarters, with the greatest alacrity, so that every position it took, and every motion it made, the royal army was watched and environed with enemies." Original 1779 detached monthly issue with some age-toning and wear, mostly clean and crisp.
