  Eve of Battle–August 26, 1776

  Aug 26, 20262 minS0

  <p >At this point, both George Washington and General William Howe know that they’re literally on the eve of battle, and they’re making their final preparations. </p> <p >The British, along with the Hessians, were making plans to move along the Jamaica Pass (it’s the road just above the Acroasis logo in today’s art), which, while they didn’t know it, was relatively lightly guarded by the Continental Army. </p> <p >Washington’s tactic was to hold on to the Heights of Guan (the ovals to the right of the episode title, representing hills) and fortify Brooklyn Hei...

  Meet The New Boss–August 24, 1776

  Aug 23, 20262 minS0

  <p >That George Washington chose to add Israel Putnam to his leadership rolls in Brooklyn isn’t specifically mysterious. What is mysterious is that Putnam was added rather than used as a replacement for someone else. </p> <p >As a result of that move, there were essentially two men in charge on Long Island, with Putnam as the theater commander and General John Sullivan, who’d arrived only a couple of days earlier, in charge of ..something else? </p> <p >I’m reminded of a story from when I was a youngster and my family went up to Fort William Henry...

  Reacting to Brooklyn–August 23, 1776

  Aug 22, 20262 minS0

  <p >The day after the British landed on Long Island, George Washington was disheartened to learn that army provisioning wasn’t at the level he’d expected, despite his orders only a week earlier. </p> <p >It was bad enough that he’d been caught a little flatfooted by both the magnitude and the direction of the British movement, now he discovers that troops he’d ordered to move had done so without proper provisions. </p> <p >So, he took the time to create new orders regarding army provisioning and ensure that the General Commissary had the manpower to do what it...

  The Battle Begins–August 20, 1776

  Aug 20, 20262 minS0

  <p >It’s been coming for at least two months, and the Battle of Long Island has finally begun. </p> <p >As we’ve noted a few times the past couple of days, George Washington had to make a few educated guesses about what the British were planning to do, but this left his troops thinly spread throughout Brooklyn and Manhattan, which left the Continental Army at a big disadvantage. </p> <p >While numerous skirmishes have broken out up and down the coast between the British and American militia forces from time to time, this was Washington’s first major tangle...

  Maintaining Motivation–August 11, 1776

  Aug 10, 20262 minS0

  <p >George Washington’s means for maintaining motivation in the Continental Army came from two directions: discipline and stirring rhetoric as a means of providing the troops with something to rally for. </p> <p >And his Orders of the Day for this day seem to be focused simultaneously on both. </p> <p >As noted elsewhere, Washington could be a stickler for protocol, and it shows in his Orders of the Day, which were usually written in the third person. But there was also some room—not a lot, but some—for a little floridness in his writing. For example, here’s an exc...
