SUMMARY:Virtual Author's Talk - A Most Gallant Resistance: The Delaware River Campaign\, September-November 1777
DESCRIPTION:By October 1777\, British forces occupied Philadelphia. Yet an elaborate American defense of the Delaware River crippled the British supply lines and threatened their ability to hold the city.  Historian Jim Mc Intyre discusses the massive effort by the Crown forces to gain control of the strategic waterway. He highlights the British occupation of Philadelphia\, the American defense of the river\, and several often-neglected engagements such as the successful repulse of a Hessian attack on Fort Mercer in New Jersey\, the destruction of two Royal Navy vessels the following day\, and the siege of Fort Mifflin. Mc Intyre asserts that the fighting along the Delaware River warrants an important place in the narrative of the 1777 Philadelphia campaign. \nThe talk will last approximately one hour on Zoom. Registration is required to access the virtual author’s talk. \n  \nAbout the Speaker\nJim Mc Intyre received his bachelor’s degree in history from Temple University and his master’s from the University of Illinois.
