View of the battlefield at Sandy Hollow. The Americans were forced back from their positions on the Brandywine and near the Birmingham Meeting House by General Howe's flanking attack and by the might of the combined Hessian-British force. Washington was deceived again by the tactical genius of General Howe, but the Americans formed a rear guard defense here at Sandy Hollow very late in the day , allowing their army to escape to the east.
