And as I understand it, from a book I read, General Washington thought a lot about that crossing because up until he did it battles were never fought on holidays or around them. He figured correctly and surprised the British just as planned.
The "average" included many thousands of babies who died young, as well as children who died of childhood diseases and other causes. There were a good number of people who lived a long time. My immigrant ancestor was born over 250 years ago. He was 91 when he died. His son was almost 80, the next generation was about 90, the next generation was almost 80, and the next generation was 90. Other lines of my ancestry have similar numbers for a large part of them. I fully expect to live well past 100.
Of course, as far as I know, most of my ancestors were Christians.
I've read this before and believe it. Washington was Divinely protected. Our country was founded with the aid of Christ and He will not be mocked. He waits until everything looks hopeless so that we will know "from whence cometh our help".
Yeah, I wanna say I read it in a book titled "weird history 101" circa 2005-2006ish. It was a really well made book of lesser known historical events and little known habbenings during well known events.
And didn't that alien/angel/whatever supposedly say to GW how their would be two periods of turmoil and that the civil war was one and possibly now the other?
Almost a surprise. A spy warned the British that night about the incoming attack, but the commanding officer arrogantly dismissed it thinking if they did attack it would be an easy victory.

No sauce, but didn't Washington claim to have seen an "entity" which stressed to him the importance of that entire Winter's timeline of events?
Swear I read that years ago, on the road or I'd attempt to look it up...
Very intriguing indeed.
Wow that's fascinating! Never heard that tale before
And didn't most of the Founders live long lives, longer than the average for the time? Definitely alludes to some type of protection.

Seventeen, you say?

Sounds familiar to me too but saucefags are going to want a link instead of digging for themselves 🙄

Here's a link to the book, perhaps another anon has read it and recalls the Washington visited by angel/alien/whatever blurb

I saw this on Ancient Aliens so it's probably true
I don't remember anything like that.

In the book I read, that wasn't stated--I believe--or I don't remember it.
Sounds valid, considering the British thought wearing red and marching slowly in rows was an honorable and valid warfare tactic KEK
