On August 30, 1776, George Washington pulled off one of history’s great escapes. Trapped by British forces at Brooklyn Heights, he secretly evacuated nearly 9,000 soldiers across the East River in fishing boats and flatboats. A thick fog concealed the operation, allowing his men to slip past enemy lines undetected. This bold maneuver saved the Continental Army from destruction—and kept the American Revolution alive. | Ancient History Revived
