One portion which has criticism of decisions made includes: "...at a time when...the General had thought proper to cross the Delaware, Philadelphia would have surrendered, and he would have been in possession of all Pennsylvania to New York and the Jerseys...The General, no doubt, had his reasons for his conduct...this step prevented putting an end to the war..." and more. Other interesting reading.
