About 20 percent of the unit was non-White, according to regimental rolls.<\/p>\n<p>Three races of Glover&#8217;s unit are represented in the oarsmen in Leutze\u2019s painting: a Black man by Washington\u2019s knee, rowing on the starboard side; several White militiamen; and a Native American in moccasins and bead-pattern pouch steering the boat in the back.<\/p>\n<p>Powering Washington&#8217;s assault across the Delaware was only one of three miracles delivered by Glover and his Marblehead men to save the rebellion in that terrible-turned-glorious year of 1776.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Washington relied on Glover to do a lot of very difficult things,&#8221; Pam Peterson of the Marblehead Historical Commission told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;And Glover always came through.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>John Glover was born on Nov. 5, 1732, in Salem, Massachusetts, to Jonathan and Yabitha (Bacon) Glover.\u00a0They moved to nearby Marblehead when he was a young boy.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Glovers were of modest means. So John took to the sea at a young age.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The colonial Massachusetts economy was built upon cod fishing. Glover was at the forefront of the trade, working his way to the top of what historians call the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/category\/great-outdoors\/fishing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&#8220;codfish aristocracy.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He was a self-made man,&#8221; Paul Beck, a reenactor from Glover&#8217;s Marblehead Regiment, told Fox New Digital. &#8220;He was a tough cookie, a rough guy, a disciplinarian.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Glover had red hair and stood just 5 foot 4 inches tall, but struck others as a natural leader in a world inhabited by hardened men.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He wore pistols with silver handles, &#8220;reminiscent of Patton&#8221; and his pearl-handle revolvers, said Beck.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/lifestyle\/this-day-history-dec-21-1945-gen-patton-dies-germany-paralyzed-auto-crash\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><u>ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY, DEC. 21, 1945, GEN.

He joined the local committee of correspondence, which helped coordinate anti-British activities across New England.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>He had no formal military training, but soon came to lead the local militia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It was a unit of rugged seamen used to hard labor.

Only Glover\u2019s boats made it across the Delaware.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The raid was an extraordinary success. Two dozen Hessians were killed, dozens more wounded and some 900 taken prisoner.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Continental army suffered only two deaths \u2014 men who froze to death in the bitter cold of Christmas night. The trail of blood in the snow wasn\u2019t necessarily from battle wounds, but from the bloody feet of ill-supplied American troops who marched over the frozen earth barefoot to fight for independence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The Marblehead militia rowed the entire invasion force \u2014 plus 900 prisoners of war \u2014 back across the Delaware.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The incredible assault took just 36 hours. Not a single man died in the two dangerous river crossings.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>General Henry Knox &#8220;himself later praised the heroic efforts of Glover and his men,&#8221; writes McCullough, &#8220;describing how the ice in the river made their labor \u2018almost incredible\u2019\u00a0and the most infinite difficulty they had in getting horses and cannons on board the boat.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>General John Glover died in Marblehead on Jan. 30, 1797. He was 64 years old.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Following additional distinguished roles in the war, including at the Battle of Saratoga and its aftermath, Glover retired from the Army in 1782,&#8221; Glover&#8217;s Marblehead Regiment, a contemporary group of historians and reenactors, says on its website.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He returned to Marblehead, rebuilt his business, and went on to serve two terms in the Massachusetts Legislature and six terms on the Marblehead Board of Selectmen.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He remains one of the community\u2019s most famous figures nearly 250 years after leading Washington across the Delaware.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Glover Square is a famous local point of reference and the site of the General Glover home, a National Historic Landmark.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of local children attend Glover Elementary School, while Glover\u2019s tomb in Old Burial Hill Cemetery remains a place of honor and reverence.<\/p>\n<p>Glover\u2019s Marblehead Regiment boasts companies of volunteers in both Marblehead and Washington Crossing, Pennylvania.<\/p>\n<p>They will cross the Delaware River on Christmas Day, as they do each year, in honor of the American assault.
