One account quotes the report of Maj. Gen. Heath to Jonathan Trumbull: “on the Morning of Thursday last, his Excellency in Person, at the head of about 3,000 of our troops, crossed the Delaware and attacked the enemy at Trenton, consisting of about 1600 men, and after a brisk action of 35 minutes, entirely routed them…All the prisoners except one were Hessians.
