Col. Tallmadge & Providential Fog
During the Revolutionary War, American troops under George Washington were nearly surrounded on Long Island by British troops on Aug. 28, 1776, but they escaped across the East river by cover of darkness and an unusually thick daytime fog. Col. Benjamin Tallmadge later wrote of this "providential occurrence" -- "In the history of warfare, I do not recollect a more fortunate retreat. After all, the providential appearance of the fog saved a part of our army from being captured."
