A participant in many of the Revolutionary War’s most famous battles, André was twice captured by the American army, and served well enough to earn two promotions and numerous important assignments during the conflict. This eight-page letter chronicles the Philadelphia campaign of 1777 and includes descriptions of the Battles of Brandywine, Paoli and Germantown. | | | | Call #: | Mss.SMs.Coll.7 | | | | Extent: | 1.0 Item(s) | | | | Sections: |
