American Revolution Photos

We both sat on the front lines of the Battle of Monmouth on Saturday, you with camera in hand and me with camcorder in hand. I have just started to view your pictures and the are a pleasure to browse through. I just finished editing two videos from the day's events. They are posted to my YouTube Channel. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqKS5mlOlwG-IAAHsKFW1-g?view_as=subscriber It is labeled as the Chris Lauterbach Channel. It was a great day and event to capture images.

Thank you for these beautiful photos. I am researching my Loyalist family history, and these photos make the story of the revolution and all of the soldiers and natives experiences come to life.

I truly enjoyed your photos. Brandywine Battlefield State Park, Chadds Ford, PA is a central repository for the historic and significant event of the Revolutionary War on September 11, 1777. I enjoy history and as I am now retired, I volunteer at the park. I constantly learn new information and meet people for various parts of the U.S. I previously lived in the Boston, MA area for nearly 30 years (Chadds Ford PA area we were please to find the historic connection. Please visit the Brandywine Battlefield Park web site and attend event there.

I want to thank you for sharing these beautiful photographs with the American Revolutionary War community. These are exceptional pieces. Great to see the reenactments and specifically the period of the Revolution. I am a retired Land Surveyor in South Arkansas on the Ouachita River.

I have family that lived and fought in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. John Henry DeFrance enlisted December 7, 1789, in Captain Nicholas Van Ransselaer's Company, First Battalion New York Forces, commanded by Colonel Goose Van Schaick. This company was also designated at various times as Captain Robert McKeens' and as Company Number 7. He was stationed at Fort Schuyler until some time in the later part of 1780, when he was transferred to Captain Benjamin Hicks' Company. This company was also designated as Third Company.

John Henry DeFrance’s two oldest sons both fought in the Revolution. John and James DeFrance were in the 6th Pennsylvania Militia Regiment. John was 15 years old when ha crossed the Delaware River with General Washington to take the Hessians at Trenton. He was at Princeton just days later and they both were committed until the end of the war.
