The Battle of Brooklyn - The Maryland Regiment that Saved Washington' Army
The British advance on New York was so overwhelming that Washington almost lost the battle...and the war. Only a tiny band of 400 Maryland state militiamen stood between the British and his army's collapse at the Battle of Brooklyn. Patrick O'Donnell brings this long forgotten, heroic struggle to light in "Washington's Immortals", In the largest battle of the war, ultimate victory hung by a thread...and the lives of the 400 who died.
