When Generals Meet–February 4, 1776

from 250 and Counting

A war map of New York City from 1776. This was almost the entire city at that time. OK, I’ll admit I cheated the title a little bit. The fact is, both General Charles Lee, who was part of George Washington’s inner circle, and General Henry Clinton, who was a British general, did arrive in New York City on the same day. The odds are pretty low that, despite how small New York City is compared to today, they actually encountered one another on this day.
