The Battle of Paoli
On September 20, 1777 an American force under General Anthony "Mad Anthony" Wayne was surprised and routed by British forces under General Charles Grey. Wayne's entire division was put to flight losing nearly 300 men (with the British losing just a dozen). Called by many the "Massacre at Paoli", the fight was one of many that was part of the 1777 Philadelphia Campaign.
Join ERW as we welcome back historian and author Michael C. Harris, expert on the Philadelphia Campaign, as we discuss the battle, its role in the campaign, the personalities and the myths around Paoli. Harris is now working on his third volume in his much acclaimed Philadelphia Campaign trilogy, that will include the Battle of Paoli.
