Another map by William Faden, this one shows the battle that has become known as the Paoli Massacre. (The location is also referred to as Tredyffrin or as Truduffrin.) On the night of September 20th, 1777--nine days after the Battle of the Brandywine--an American encampment , under famed General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, was surprised by a British detachment. The British night attack routed the Americans and sent them fleeing in disorder. The British gave no quarter. Fifty-three Americans were killed.
