The Trial of Abraham Hunt

On Christmas night 1776, the American Revolution could have died on Abraham Hunt's doorstep. As George Washington was crossing the Delaware for his attack on Trenton, newly avowed loyalist Abraham Hunt was hosting a Christmas party for the enemy. Hunt could have pulled the pin on America's precarious struggle for independence, but he didn't. Was Washington extremely lucky, or was something more profound taking place? Culled from historic events and a recently discovered document, this book is an intriguing tale about how close we came to not becoming a nation.
