The battle of Brandywine as the main defense of Philadelphia, the largest land battle of the war and the first battle for Lafayette in America. Survivors of Brandywine spent that winter in Valley Forge.
United States history almost changed on September 11, 1777, as George Washington almost dies. Washington’s army also almost ceased to exist. “September 11, 1777: Washington’s Defeat at Brandywine Dooms Philadelphia” is the first book on the historic American Revolution battle that was the main battle of the Philadelphia Campaign. This was Lafayette’s first battle and the Continental Congress fled Philadelphia after the battle.
“Jailing the Johnston Gang: Bringing Serial Murderers to Justice” is the inside story of the dedicated law enforcement team that brought to justice serial murderers Norman, David, and Bruce A. Johnston Sr.
For more than a decade the Johnston Gang terrorized communities throughout the East Cost of the United States by stealing millions of dollars’ worth of property. When gang members couldn’t intimidate witnesses to their many crimes, they murdered them.
