098629705 131k Brandywine Brandywine - The Battle of Brandywine was fought between the American Continental Army of General George Washington and the British Army of General Sir William Howe, 11 September 1777, as part of the American Revolutionary War (1775-1783). The forces met near Chadds Ford, PA., as Howe moved to take Philadelphia. The British forces routed the Continental Army and forced them to withdraw, first, to the City of Chester, PA. toward Philadelphia. More troops fought at Brandywine than any other battle of the American Revolution. It was also the longest single-day battle of the war, with continuous fighting for 11 hours Painting 'Nation Makers' (pre 1911) by Howard Pyle depicts a scene from the battle.
