The story

After repeated defeats during the American Revolutionary War's campaign of 1776, the Continental Army retreats across New Jersey. In the prior six months, they have lost New York City and been chased through New Jersey by the British, and 90 percent of their troops have been killed, taken prisoner, or have deserted. After the army narrowly escapes across the Delaware River to the Pennsylvania shore, it is in possession of the only boats of any use on that stretch of the Delaware, obtaining it a reprieve from further pursuit until the river freezes, which will allow the British to cross from New Jersey and capture Philadelphia.
