Excerpt from In the Camp of Cornwallis: Being the Story of Reuben Denton and His Experiences During the NewT1115 campaign has attracted far less attention than it deserves, mainly, no doubt, because it contained no battles or other striking incidents. It was purely a series of strategic devices. But in point of military skill it was, perhaps, as remarkable as anything that Washington ever did, and it certainly occupies a cardi nal position in the history of the overthrow of Bur goyne. For if Howe had been able to take Philadelphia early in the summer it is difficult to see what could have prevented him from returning and ascend ing the Hudson, in accordance with the plan of the ministry.
