The Spy and General Washington

William A. Wise

0/5 ( ratings)

On December 18, 1776, when the American revolutionists had all but conceded defeat to the British, Commander in Chief of the Continental Army George Washington wrote his brother: "I think the game is pretty near up..."

Seven days later, on Christmas night, Washington--"Victory or Death" his watchword--led his troops across the Delaware into trenton where the Hessian mercenaries had their camp. Without an American casualty, the enemy was defeated and the tide began to turn.

what happened to change the complexion of the American war effort is the story of John Honeyman, spy for General Washington. Masquerading as a Tory, Patriot Honeyman gained access to the british camp, became a familiar and trusted figure there, and was able to turn over to washington the information he needed to launch his telling attack.
