In the fall of the year that New York was evacuated (1783), General Washington had his headquarters at Mrs. Berrian’s, at Rocky Hill, in Jersey, and I was there: the Congress then sat at Prince Town. We had several times been told that the river or creek, that runs near the bottom of Rocky Hill, and over which there is a mill, might be set on fire, for that was the term the country people used; and as General Washington had a mind to try the experiment. What would a story written about this historical time most likely include?

a character receiving an order from General Washington to set the creek on fire
events resulting from a terrible snowstorm that occurred in February 1783
a conflict between city people and country people being resolved
General Washington's boyhood home in Virginia being described
