Remember Paoli! The Battle of Paoli

Join Jim Christ, President of the Paoli Battlefield Preservation Fund, as he discusses the often-overlooked Battle of Paoli, fought in Malvern, PA on September 20th, 1777, where British General Charles "No Flint" Grey led 2,000 men in a surprise night attack against General Anthony Wayne's forces. The ninth bloodiest battle of the Revolutionary War left Philadelphia open to British occupation and gave birth to "Remember Paoli," the nation's first battle cry. The battle's legacy endures through the second-oldest Revolutionary War Memorial, dedicated in 1817, and the still-celebrated Malvern Memorial Parade. Explore the truth behind why it's called the "Paoli Massacre," debunk common myths, and learn how General Wayne later redeemed his reputation at the Battle of Stony Point using lessons learned from that fateful night.
