On Christmas night 1776—the American Revolution could have died on Abraham Hunt's doorstep. As George Washington was crossing the Delaware River for his attack on Trenton, Hunt, a newly avowed Loyalist, was hosting a Christmas party for the enemy. Hunt could have pulled the pin on America's precarious struggle for independence, yet didn't. Was Washington extremely lucky or was something more profound taking place that Christmas night? Culled from historical events and a recently discovered document, The Trial Of Abraham Hunt is an intriguing tale about how close America came to not becoming a nation.
