        @BeschlossDC @Trusting34 How old was Emanuel Leutze in 1776? Why did he wait so long to paint it?

        @BeschlossDC I once read that the presence of ice has been used to confirm the "Little Ice Age".

        @BeschlossDC there are at least half dozen errors in this painting. Who can find one or more?

        The flag did not exist at the time (25 Dec 1776). The Continental Congress did not consider a flag until 1777. @LannyDavis @BeschlossDC

        @BeschlossDC I love that picture! I often use it as my computer screen background. I often wonder, what details are historically verifiable?
