You've got to love the way those people spoke. Everything sounds like poetry.

'Waggons' had to be moved away so that the army was not incommoded by them.

Washington landed in Delaware because "measures were taken to annoy them in the river, so that enterprise was judged too hazardous."

It's fabulous prose!
