"Guns at the Ford"

Original Oil 18"x36" -price on request

The Continental Artillery that was positioned overlooking the Brandywine occupied three prepared positions with a two gun position near the present day Brandywine River Museum, five guns above the Chadd House, and two more overlooking Brinton's Ford. These positions faced off with British artillery firing from heights acros the river, firing battery and counterbattey fire throughout the day. Eventually they were overcome by flanking infantry, or even the river crossing assault directly into the face of the guns by the 4th and 5th Regiment of Foot, as well as the remnants of Ferguson's Rifles and the Queen's Rangers
