September 8, 1777. The home of Caleb Harlan in Milltown, Delaware. Washington planned for the British at Red Clay Creek. But Howe was miles away - marching along the Brandywine, near the farm of Caleb’s cousin - Joel Harlan.

The eve of the Battle of Brandywine. According to one family legend, Washington “got lost” after inspecting the cannon placed near Brinton’s Ford. Could Ferguson have ended the Revolution? I have different theory.
