A Crucial Winter in New Jersey - Really

If you are thinking right now about how much you dislike snow and how much it is messing up your schedule, tonight may be a good time to watch online, "Morristown: Where America Survived".

From NJN.com...
Morristown: Where America Survived is a thirty-minute High Definition documentary which revisits that winter of 1779-80 when Washington’s troops arrived at the densely-wooded area just south of Morristown known as Jockey Hollow, to build a log hut city for their winter camp.  The film is an eye-opening look at how the camp saved the army – and the American Revolution – from the brink of disaster.



Based on John T. Cunningham’s book The Uncertain Revolution and shot on location at Morristown National Historical Park, Morristown: Where America Survived is narrated by award-winning actor Edward Herrmann, who has voiced many history documentaries over his extensive career.
