Brandywine 2022

This past weekend I attended the 245th anniversary of  the Battle of Brandywine, which was probably the largest battle of the American Revolution. My thanks go out to the First Dragoons for allowing me to accompany them to this event. I attended in the role of a young Major James Monroe who participated as a fresh aid d'camp to General Alexander. This was also Monroe's first real engagement after having returned from Virginia following his lengthy recovery from wounds sustained at Trenton. 

Here I am pictured with Generals Washington and Lafayette while pointing out some better ground upon which Lafayette may be wounded in the leg.
