The Brandywine River winds from Southeastern Pennsylvania into
Delaware along a rolling, agricultural plane. Henry Seidel Canby
was born along its banks into a family that has lived in the region
for generations. His personal affection for the river is woven into
this charming history of events that make the Brandywine one of
America's most important small rivers. He explains how the Swedes
built the first log cabins in America at the mouth of the
Brandywine, why William Penn's Quakers later came here, that
prairie schooners were built to haul grain to local flour mills,
and how the duPont family started a chemical empire in these narrow
gorges. The Battle of the Brandywine was a major confrontation in
America's war for independence.
