Dana Joel Bogdanski

A dramatic and strictly detailed and authentic film presentation that recounts the participants and events that came to a crescendo on April 18, 1775 and progressed to a point of confrontation on Lexington Green the next morning where the, "Shot heard round the world" was fired and the Revolution was begun.

September 3, 1777. The first significant engagement of the British campaign to capture Philadelphia, then the capital of the United States. British General Howe, along with Earl Charles Cornwallis and Baron Wilhelm Knyphausen smash into American Brigadier-General William Maxwell s light corps. This battle led to the British victory at Brandywine a few days later, and the final capture of Philadelphia. This is the largest fight in Delaware during the Revolution, and some say, the first time the American Stars-and-Stripes were flown on the battlefield.
