There might be more than one. When General Washington tried to get across the river from New Jersey to New York, he was warned that it would take longer than he wanted. Meanwhile Ethan Allen and his Green Mountain Boys got tired of waiting and attacked the British. Unfortunately for Ethan Allen, the British knew they were coming and were prepared. Ethan Allen and company beat a hasty retreat. The British celebrated (Christmas time). They got drunk and tired. And then General Washington's troops showed up. It was an easy victory. So what did they call that battle -- the American's or the British?
