On the bitterly cold morning of January 3, 1777, 4,500 exhausted, footsore, hungry American soldiers marched into battle and the pages of history at Thomas Clarke’s farm in Princeton, New Jersey.
Over the next several hours, these heroes of the Battle of Princeton would defeat the military forces of the mighty British Empire for the third time in 10 days in one of the most important American victories in our War of Independence.
As we near the 250th anniversary of that battle, the Princeton Battlefi eld Society is proud to honor the “Heroes of Princeton,” courageous and stalwart men who fought that day to secure the blessings of liberty that we enjoy.
