General George Washington
George Washington, at the time a general, inaccurately gauged the British forces, believing them to be a lot smaller. The British employed a flanking maneuver, where the army was split into 3 parts. One to march head on to the Americans, with the attention focused on them. Oblivious to the Americans, the other two parts came up from behind on either side.

I work at another HQ of Washington's in the Hudson Valley. From my experiences, I have found that the letters of Washington hold information about his various locations throughout the war.

Though he won both battles, Gen Howe did not destroy Washington's forces at Brandywine Creek or Germantown. He spent the winter in Philadelphia, while Washington was a few miles away at Valley Forge. In so doing, he left British Gen John Burgoyne exposed as he came into the Battle of Saratoga where Burgoyne suffered a crushing defeat.
