We take a look at the beginning of the Trenton Campaign and spend most of the episode digging into Samuel Nicholas and his new role, some Marines who were selected to lead on four of the newly built frigates and explore the life of Robert Mullan. Towards the end of the episode, we introduce General George Washington and his current struggles.
