George Washington Takes Command: The Journey Through Jersey

250 years ago, George Washington departed the Second Continental Congress in Philadelphia to take command of the new Continental Army at Cambridge, Massachusetts. Gen. Washington crossed New Jersey over three days in June 1775 on a journey that would prove a prelude to the eight years of the Revolutionary War to come.
