Description
View showing the War of 1812 camp for Pennsylvania volunteers above the Brandywine River, near Wilmington, De. In front of rows of tents, troops drill on foot, perform mock battles on horseback, and exercise their mounts. In the foreground, on the dirt road lining the fenced enclosure of the encampment, a man and supply wagon are stopped by sentries on guard as a carriage travels in the opposite direction. Camp Dupont was organized on Oak Hill in the spring of 1814 in response to the threat of British attack on the Dupont powder mills. The militia was largely comprised of volunteers from Philadelphia.
