Historian David Price examines a pivotal moment in the American War of Independence through an interpretive framework that focuses on five key factors: leadership, geography, weather, artillery, and contingency. Price argues that Washington’s winter victories at Trenton and Princeton were made possible by these factors, and propelled the Revolutionary cause into a lengthy war of attrition that eventuated in American independence.

 

David is a recipient of the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution Bronze Good Citizenship Medal in recognition of his work as an author, speaker, and historical interpreter at Washington Crossing Historic Park in Pennsylvania and Princeton Battlefield State Park in New Jersey. He is the author f several books about the Revolutionary War, including “The Battle of Harlem Heights, 1776” (2023).
