CHM008-The Battle of Trenton

Summary:

Here is another revisited CHM episode from way back in time or specifically a year and some months ago,.

The audio is what I expect from the 3rd episode I ever created but its still worth releasing for the sake of continuity and the topic and info is good.

Battle Of Trenton was what most Revolutionary War historians agree the turning point in the War for not just the  revolution but the British and Hessian forces learned a lesson in underestimating General Washington and his tactical plans and leadership on the field of battle.
