"Maxwell's Foray"

Original Oil 18"x24"-price on request

After being forced across the Brandywine by overwhelming forces, General William Maxwell's Light Infantry did not stop to maintain a defensive posture. The river was another fallback point for the Continental forces; small units crossed back onto the British held eastern bank, probing for an area to assault in strength later in the day. General Maxwell's Light Infantry was a composite force of 100 men from each battalion, formed to move quickly, reconoiter, and strike fast.
