washii^gton's counter-offensive at teenton, 1777.
^ST JANUAR Y. — The American army under Wash- ington is encamped at Trenton, Bordentown, and Crosswicks, with head-quarters at Trenton (Map 5). It aggregates 5000 men. Cornwallis is advancing with 7000 men from Brunswick to attack it. The Delaware River is swollen with recent rain

2d January. — Just east of Trenton runs the Assanpink Creek, a small stream with abrupt banks, its only good crossing being a little above its mouth. Washington has assembled his army on the east bank of this stream, and the British have encamped on the west side near Trenton.
