In the annals of the American Revolution, no group played a more consequential role than the Marblehead Regiment. As Patrick O'Donnell recounts, these seafaring troops were consistently in the right place at the right time, fighting at Lexington and Bunker Hill, as well as facilitating the tense escape after the Battle of Brooklyn, and conveying 2400 of Washington's men across the icy Delaware River on Christmas night 1776.
