I have not yet begun to fight!

On this day in 1777,
Gen. Cornwallis marches in to Philadelphia with 4 British and 2 Hessian units. The main body of his army is encamped at Germantown, northwest of the city. Gen. Washington moves to Pennybacker's Mill (Schwenksville) on the Perkiomen River after The Fall of Philadelphia.

And in 1779,
Cdre. John Paul Jones in his Bonhomme Richard captures the Serapis.
