Picture
The illustrated lecture on Washington Crossing will explore the history of the site of General George
Washington’s crossing of the Delaware River with his Continental Army in 1776 to the Battle of Trenton-
- through the creation of both parks that mark its place in memorial. The talk will detail the history
chronologically and bring the story of both the NJ and PA parks and the people who helped create them
up to the present day, where an annual reenactment of the crossing continues every year. The authors
will also examine Emanuel Leutze’s famous 1851 masterpiece Washington Crossing the Delaware and its
importance as a symbol of American patriotism.
The talk will last about 45 minutes with time for questions. The authors will have books to sell and
autograph. Light refreshments will be available.
