"In October 1776, central Westchester witnessed a critical episode in the early campaign of George Washington's ragtag Continental army and its quest for American independence. Often overlooked as just an interval between the disastrous Battle of Brooklyn and the victory at Trenton, the Battle of White Plains showcased Washington's sly strategy of perserverance... Author Stephen Paul DeVillo presents just how close the American cause for independence came to being extinguished at the Battle of White Plains."--Back cover.
