Mapping History: New Perspectives on the Battle of Princeton

Via Princeton man Tigerhawk comes this cool link to a report about fresh perspectives of the Battle of Princeton during the American Revolution.  Cool!  Do recall the date of the battle -- January 3, 1777 -- and how it comes fast on the heels of Washington's daring gambit of crossing the Delaware River on Christmas Day 1776 to surprise the Hessians in Trenton.  Here's the map from the new research on Princeton and the Continental Army's victory.  I love me some battle maps.
