Overall, a "fairly" good reflection of the Battle. That said, some details can be refined: such as U.S. Route 1 known as the "Baltimore Pike" (in 1777 known as The Old Nottingham Trail); Washington knew of the Britsh Philadelphia Campaign of 1777 for weeks if not months and arrived at September 9th; 265 Britsh Ships sailed from New York City down the Atlantic Coast bypassing the Delaware River and up the Chesapeake;Congress had eacuated Philadelphia to York, PA well in advance of the Britsh occupation. Britsh Crown Forces crossed two fords – Jefferies and the Trimble’s. Ford. The Lafayette battle story is somewhat an elaboration , he had just turned 20 years, and had never been in Battle.
