The Brandywine: An Intimate Portrait is the first book to trace the rich vein of history in the region, from original European settlement to the Battle of the Brandywine?the largest land battle of the Revolutionary War?to the establishment of First State National Monument on its banks in 2013.Acclaimed writer and Brandywine Valley resident W. Barksdale Maynard crafts a sweeping narrative about the men and women who shaped the Brandywine's history and culture. They include the du Ponts, who made their fortunes from gunpowder, and artist Howard Pyle, a native of the region, whose Brandywine School of American illustration took inspiration from the pastoral environment. Most famously, the Brandywine Valley is where N. C. and Andrew Wyeth, father and son, painted amid evocative landscapes for more than a century. With its unparalleled collection of museums and public gardens, including Longwood, Winterthur, and Hagley, the Brandywine continues to attract millions of visitors from around the world. Richly illustrated with seldom-seen historical photographs, paintings, and drawings, The Brandywine vividly captures the spirit of a storied region that has inspired generations. 606 $aBrandywine, Battle of, Pa., 1777 606 $aGeschichte 606 $aSiedlung 606 $aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA)$2bisacsh 607 $aBrandywine Creek (Pa. and Del.)$xHistory 607 $aBrandywine Creek Valley (Pa. and Del.)$xHistory 610 $aAmerican History. 610 $aAmerican Studies. 610 $aBooks of Regional Interest. 615 0$aBrandywine, Battle of, Pa., 1777. 615 0$aGeschichte. 615 0$aSiedlung. 615 7$aHISTORY / United States / State & Local / Middle Atlantic (DC, DE, MD, NJ, NY, PA). 676 $a974.8/4 700 $aMaynard$b W.
