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.
Four distinguished scholars discuss our development during the last
four hundred years in the arts, in politics, in science and
invention, and in the intangible values of personality. For those
who are interested in the more important aspects of our
civilization, who are concerned over the fruits of our own peculiar
American culture, this volume will prove to be interesting and
stimulating. Originally published in 1931. A UNC Press Enduring
Edition - UNC Press Enduring Editions use the latest in digital
technology to make available again books from our distinguished
backlist that were previously out of print. These editions are
published unaltered from the original, and are presented in
affordable paperback formats, bringing readers both historical and
cultural value.
This is a new release of the original 1927 edition.
