Summary

General William Howe gets a late start to the 1777 fighting campaign, not leaving New York City until the end of July. He opts to sail all they way to Virginia and then up the Chesapeake Bay to land in Maryland, with Philadelphia as his goal. Weeks of the British Army at sea leave the Continentals perplexed and guessing at what the ultimate goal would be.
