Alexander Hamilton and Aaron Burr,
by Arnold A. Rogow,


Published by Hill and Wang, a division of Farrar, Straus and Giroux, New York 1999, ISBN#: 0809016214, Soft bound, New/Mint condition.This book is a dramatic reinterpretation of the duel that shocked America.

Other planned crossings in support of the operation were either called off or ineffective, but this did not prevent Washington from surprising and defeating the troops of Johann Rall quartered in Trenton. The army crossed the river back to Pennsylvania, this time laden with prisoners and military stores taken as a result of the battle.

Washington's army then crossed the river a third time at the end of the year, under conditions made more difficult by the… Read More
