Page "John Stark" Paragraph 17

As Washington prepared to go to New York in anticipation of a British attack there, he knew that he desperately needed experienced men like John Stark to command regiments in the Continental Army.

George Washington immediately offered Stark a command in the Continental Army.

Stark and his New Hampshire regiment agreed to attach themselves to the Continental Army.

The men of the New Hampshire Line were sent as reinforcements to the Continental Army during the Invasion of Canada in the spring of 1776.

After the retreat of the Continental Army from Canada, Stark and his men traveled to New Jersey to join Washington's main army.

They were with Washington in the battles of Princeton and Trenton in late 1776 and early 1777.
