Hello everyone reading this! This is a fantastic website! I found some terrific information here and am planning on visiting the park soon. My great (x5) grandfather was Col. Joseph McClellan, (Pa). 1st Lieutenant Pennsylvania Musket Battalion, 20th March, 1776; Captain, 15th July, 1776; Captain 9th Pennsylvania, 1st January, 1777, to rank from 15th July, 1776; transferred to 2d Pennsylvania, 17th January, 1781; resigned 10th June, 1781. (Died 24th October, 1834.) Re-enstated by Washington himself as a Colonel to lead dragoons during the 1794 Whiskey insurrection . He has a monument in the park that I did not know about until I stumbled onto this website while doing some genealogical research. Keep up the good work! See ya soon!

GGGG grandfather (Quaker)owned the farm (presently the site of Kennett High School) in Kennett Square where Howe camped prior to marching north to meet Washington.

While being at the Brandywine Battlefield, I felt such a personal connection inside. The butter cup flowers that cover the hills are so symbolic to me. It is a resting place for many and the flowers adourn them with grace.

I find American history of this period facinating. Having a surname which is shared by a number of your early pioneers does create a greater interest, although I have no know family connections to the American Brinton's. Although I was born in Staffordshire, probably 10 miles from William Brinton's birthplace

After researching your organization I can reliably state that the majority of leadership and members within Minutemen coalition are opinion-driven and little more. Complete a worthwhile education in an accredited college and/or university, focusing on world and national historical patterns. Additionally, while it is ultimately futile to fabricate academic accomplishment, a significant percentage of the uneducated (often male) of Western European descent appear to attempt this. Those who have acquired critical thinking skills are able to detect unethical grasps at intellectual legitimacy. Additionally, owned property (and lies about ownership) do not lend a vigilante the authority that s/he so desperately craves. Nobel, prize-winning author John Steinbeck stated well that, "Vigilantes are the dirtiest trash in any town." Indeed.

A map of the area and battlefield would be nice. Pictures of the points of interest to go with the narrative would also be nice. I toured the area Philidelphia, Valley Forge, and Gettysburg nine years ago, but didn't know much about Brandywine, only that it was a defeat, and thought it was insignificant. Didn't even know it was named for a river.

I've recently read a Trail of History guide about Brandywine and other books about battles in Trenton /Princeton, Battle of Paoli text by Thomas McGuire.

Since I live short drives of these areas, I will visit these sites to better feel the patriotism, courage, strength and suffering of these brave men of history.
