One of the most iconic events of the American Revolution was the "Crossing of the Delaware River". Are you aware of the events that made that crossing so critical that even a Nor'easter would not result in it's cancellation? Joining us this week is our Special Guest Roger Williams. Roger is the co-founder of tencrucialdays.org and was previously our guest on last year’s Christmas Special.
