.24c U.S. Stamps. WASHINGTON CROSSING THE DELAWARE From a painting by Emanuel Leutze / Eastman Johnson In a last ditch effort to keep Americas hope of independence alive, General George Washington planned a surprise attack on England's Hessian mercenaries at Trenton in December 1776. On Christmas Day, Washington led his troops out of Pennsylvania and across the Delaware River that evening. Marching nine miles to Trenton, the American forces completely surprised and routed the Hessians on December 26. America's dream of independence was still alive. .31 cent stamps WASHINGTON REVIEWING HIS RAGGED ARMY AT VALLEY FORGE From a painting by William T. Trego At Valley Forge, the Continental Army's 1777 winter quarters, General Washington helplessly watched his army begin to disintegrate. The troops were deserting or leaving as their enlistments expired. Fortunately, in early 1778, Major General Baron von Steuben of Prussia began drilling the troops despite the language barrier. The men responded enthusiastically and General Washington was able to breach camp in the Spring with a well-trained force.
