Description

A little artistic license here as Washington and his troops crossed the Delaware River from Pennsylvania to New Jersey in the dead of night during a snowstorm. Also crossing with Washington were James Madison, James Monroe, Aaron Burr, Alexander Hamilton and future Chief Justice John Marshall. The crossing was completed by 3:00AM where they went on to Trenton to surprise the Hessian & British Troops there and at Princeton. These battles were the turning points of the American Revolution. So much for history...Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday!!! Daz; RDNA; Sams3D Comments and smiles always welcome! A BIG THANK YOU to everyone at Renderosity for all your support this past year and here's to another year of "mousecapades" to come!!! See you next year (Tuesday)!!!

Love those mouse-soldiers - they are too cute! If you would illustrate schoolbooks, I think every child would love to learn history!
