From the back:
”From late June to early November, 1783, Congress met in Princeton, New Jersey. Avoiding a mutiny in Philadelphia, the delegates came to the small town well known for its revolutionary spirit. perhaps their greatest achievements were the survival of the infant government through its unplanned exodus and the conclusion of the long wait for the Treaty of Paris ending the Revolutionary War. This book accompanying the 225th anniversary exhibition at Morven Museum & Garden examines the significance of the Princeton session and includes a close look at the town and college. New research and abundant first-hand accounts of the delegates’ experience appeals to a general audience and scholars alike.”
