May 1777 CE

Washington had recognized that Bound Brook itself is a difficult place to defend.

On May 26 he had withdrawn the garrison, and on May 28, he moves part of his army from Morristown to a new entrenched camp near Middle Brook, just north of Bound Brook but well protected between the first and second Watchung Mountain ranges; other troops are stationed near Princeton.

From the top of the Watchung Mountains Washington monitors British movements while the two sides continue to skirmish.

Both sides also engage in intelligence gathering, each trying to determine the strength and intentions of the other.
