This publication serves as a historical handbook and delves into the significance of Morristown, New Jersey, during the American Revolution, highlighting its role as a military capital through the encampments of George Washington and the Continental Army during the harsh winters of
1777 and 1779-80. The book outlines key events and conditions faced by the American troops stationed in Morristown, illustrating the logistical challenges of winter warfare, including shortages of food, clothing, and shelter.
