Ladies and gentlemen good evening, will come to the kansas city public library. To welcomeleasure you to the presentation of harry laver on the 240th anniversary of Washington Crossing the delaware. An extraordinary moment in American History. So harsh was that the general washington and his other senior commanders considered burning new york city. The Continental Congress forbade the burning of the new york city. The Current Congress would consider that. They faced the hessians, perhaps the most brutal soldiers at the time and the british army. Maybe the most literate. The least orderly and illequipped army in the world at the time, as George Washington himself said, as unaccustomed to undoubted freedom cannot keep her straight of government and an army. That army, through full retreat to new jersey, defended by Alexander Hamilton and his artillery who covered the retreat. That was before Alexander Hamilton learned to sing, by the way.

Leaving national and i said, are we planning speaker or are we planning minority leader . Gaylord said well, you better be planning speaker because you are going to be. At which point dan myers said stop, were not going a step further until you explain that. And for the next hour or so, joe started in maine excuse me, he started in maine, went every district from memory for the entire country, ended up saying he thought we would pick up 52 seats. We picked up 53. Host this is your latest documentary, called the first americans. Lets watch. This way if jefferson and adams went to william and mary and harvard, washington went to war. War has his crucible. Its very hard to see anybody like jefferson arn or adams or madison getting on a horse and leading an army in the revolutionary spirit. Washington was the indispensable american. For generations of americans, George Washington was essential to undering understanding the create creation of 9 United States of america.
