Following the American loss at Brandywine, Congress reevaluates its officers. At the same time, Gen. Washington prepares to rally for the next confrontation. The Continentals and British advance on each other near White Horse Tavern. As they prepare for a major battle, a terrible rain storm floods the field and damages most of the gunpowder. General Washington uses the opportunity to pull back across the Schuylkill river for a final defense of Philadelphia.Visit my site at https://blog.AmRevPodcast.com for more text, pictures, maps, and sources on this topic.Book Recommendation of the Week: The Philadelphia Campaign 1777-1778, by Stephen R.
