But on the soldiers marched.

When the Hessian garrison at Trenton looked about them next morning they saw that Washington and Greene held the roads leading inland from the town.
Stark and a few soldiers--among them James Monroe--held the bridge leading over the Assanpink to the next British post.

A few horsemen escaped before Stark could prevent them.

But all the foot soldiers were killed or captured.

A few days later nearly one thousand prisoners marched through Philadelphia.
