On Sunday morning, November 10, George Washington
mounted his horse and rode out of Germantown without
bothering to wake his aides. Tired of not knowing the
true condition of Philadelphia and frustrated by the
general nervousness of everyone around him,
Washington took it upon himself to make an inspection.
