Paeon To a Trenton Victory

Johann Rall and his Hessian men are defeated this harsh chilled day. Washington routed these troops at a small Trenton town with surprise. Crossing the raw Delaware Run, with war so lost as some would say, he gives his land a victory now - such needful and sought for prize. Hundreds of the bad German guards are then taken when full at ease. Faces are red ashamed for sure when caught having pants down at knees.
