1. Whether GW and his forces were able to reach on the night of 19 Nov. the site on Turtle Creek where they built Washington’s Camp on 20 Nov. or whether they stopped for the night short of that is not clear, but the distance between New Camp and the site of Washington’s Camp is a little more than ten miles.
