Kim Burdick's Delaware Humanities Forum’s Speakers’ Bureau talk, "Seized in September," is the history of what happened in New Castle County during the fall and winter of 1777; the year of the Philadelphia Campaign of the American Revolution. Based on extensive research into primary documents and secondary resources, “Seized in September” tells the story of what happened to local residents as the British and American forces occupied our area.
