December 02, 2022 Episode 34: Washington’s Retreat Through New Jersey Mini-series Intro
First, I’m now on the Snapchat- njhistorypod
This is just a little teaser/intro episode for my mini-series “Washington’s Retreat Through New Jersey.” I‘m coming to you from the college, because a fee people asked if I’d make some lecture-style recordings.
Please email me with any suggestions, or if theres anything in particular about Washington’s 1776 winter retreat through NJ that you’d like to know about.
Update- if we communicate a few times back and forth, and I trust you’re not a serial killer, I’ll share my cell number so people can more easily contact me with suggestion/questions.
