The Philadelphia Campaign, 1777 (Casemate Illustrated) - Softcover
Book 30 of 72: Casemate Illustrated
Synopsis
“[A] succinct account of one of the pivotal battle campaigns of the American Revolution… a very highly recommended pick…”
– Midwest Book Review
The British Army in North America conducted two campaigns in 1777. John Burgoyne led one army south from Canada to seize control of the Lake Champlain-Hudson River corridor resulting in the battle of Saratoga. Burgoyne’s defeat led to that army’s capture. Rather than assist Burgoyne’s campaign, William Howe led his army from New York City on the Philadelphia campaign. Although Howe captured Philadelphia, the events of 1777 led to the French Alliance and ultimately American victory in American Revolution.
This fully illustrated account of the Philadelphia campaign puts the battles into context and explains the importance of the campaign to the outcome of the war.
