Battle of Princeton: "Washington advanced so near the enemy's lines that his horse refused to go further" - American Minute with Bill Federer
Sculptor Clark Mills stated the statue's dedication, 1860: "At the Battle of Princeton where Washington, after several ineffectual attempts to rally his troops, advanced so near the enemy's lines that his horse refused to go further ... But while his noble horse is represented thus terror stricken, the dauntless hero is calm and dignified, ever believing himself the instrument in the hand of Providence to work out the great problem of liberty."
