John Glover and his Marblehead Mariners, with seemingly impossible stealth, evacuated Washington’s entire army, all 9,000 men, across the East River onto Manhattan Island in nine miraculous hours during a SINGLE night!   But it would never have happened without one often ignored event which I see as nothing short of divine intervention. For just as the British were preparing to attack, the river and shores were quickly blanketed in a thick fog that “men could not see ten feet ahead.”   At least two more miracles would follow that dark and deadly year of 1776. And in the midst of the fray was found Colonel John Glover, a blunt and plainspoken American who few people liked, but everyone respected.   Thank you, John Glover, for your sacrifice and determination to never place personal gain ahead of the creation and preservation of the most important Republic in history.   Your Legacy will live as long as there are voices free to tell your story and to proclaim your divinely guided victories.   I’m Rick Robison and this is the HEROES FOR FREEDOM Podcast.     **Want more incredible stories like these for your home??** ---> HEROES FOR FREEDOM MANUALS (Volumes 1-3) - Purchase on Amazon!     OTHER EPISODES YOU MAY LIKE: 34 - THE DAY AN ANGEL APPEARED IN THE WHITE HOUSE | Rebecca Pomroy (Army Nurse) | Civil War 33 - THE AMERICAN REVOLUTION: THE MOST WORTHY AND JUSTIFIED IN HISTORY | *4th of July Special* 32 - THE PURE SON OF LIBERTY | Thaddeus Kosciuszko (Military Engineer) | Revolutionary War   ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: -Join our newsletter and get a free gift! - Click Here -Contact us at: Rick@TheLegacyGen.com -Find our video episodes on YouTube   George Washington / Revolutionary War / Continental Army / Tyranny / John Glover / Marbleheaders / Marblehead Mariners / Marblehead Boatmen / US Navy / British / British Regulars / General William Howe / Battle of New York / Battle of Trenton / Throgs Neck / Pell’s Point / Hessians / Delaware River
