Book Description:
This fascinating new history of the historical river that winds through Chester County, Pennsylvania, and the upper regions of Delaware and emptying into the Christina River in Wilmington, Delaware, showcases more than two hundred of the best vintage postcards available. The collected postcards show the countryside as it appeared during the Revolutionary War Battle at Brandywine through the time of nineteenth-century settlements in the region and into the twentieth century.
Author Bio: Collected and interpreted by Bruce Edward Mowday, an author, journalist, and native of the Brandywine River region, the images in this informative volume provide readers with a delightful trip down a historical river that played an important role in the founding of the United States and the life of early settlers. This book brings an important period of history to life for members of every generation.
