The Crisis, No. 1
by Thomas Paine (excerpt)
As I was with the troops at Fort Lee, and marched with them to the edge of Pennsylvania, I am well acquainted with many circumstances, which
those who live at a distance know but little or nothing of. Our situation there was exceedingly cramped, the place being a narrow neck of land
between the North River and the Hackensack. Our force was inconsiderable, being not one-fourth so great as Howe could bring against us. We had
no army at hand to have relieved the garrison, had we shut ourselves up and stood on our defence. Our ammunition, light artillery, and the best
part of our stores, had been removed,
I shall not now attempt to give all the particulars of our retreat to the Delaware; suffice it for the present to say, that both officers and men, though
greatly harassed and fatigued, frequently without rest, covering, or provision, the inevitable consequences of a long retreat, bore it with a manly
and martial spirit.
