Editors: This is an op-ed submission in connection to the Brandywine Valley’s participation in the Lafayette Bicentennial Celebration.

Brandywine Valley celebrates kickoff

of the Lafayette Bicentennial Celebration

with second Lafayette Day at Thornbury Farm

Two hundred years ago a French hero of the American Revolution, the Marquis Lafayette, was welcomed by hundreds of thousands of Americans in New York City to begin a 13-month grand tour of the United States as the Nation’s Guest.

One reason Lafayette was honored was that Americans were beginning to celebrate the 50^th anniversary of the founding of our country. Today, as we are commencing to celebrate the 250^th anniversary of the founding of our country, Lafayette is once again being honored.

Lafayette deserves the accolades. He was instrumental in obtaining France’s support as we won our freedom. He was a volunteer who spent much of his fortune on our freedom. He spilled his own blood during the battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777. There are so many reasons to honor the Frenchman.

On Saturday, July 20, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. the second Lafayette Day will be celebrated at Thornbury Farm, 1256 Thornbury Road, West Chester. The event is free and designed to be a fun, family event. The event is hosted by the Lafayette Bicentennial Brandywine Committee and farm proprietor Randell Spackman.

The event features medical artifacts from the Revolution from the J. Howard Wert collection, a heritage walk to where Lafayette was wounded, remarks from Adrianne Lafayette on her husband, and a reading of a prayer by relatives of the person who gave the prayer in West Chester on July 26, 1825, before Lafayette. There will also be games for the children, food trucks, remarks by dignitaries from Chester and Delaware counties and displays and information offered by historical organizations.

Lafayette Day is the perfect time to lean about an American hero.

Lafayette began his tour in New York City in August 1824. The American Friends of Lafayette is beginning its 13-month celebration in New York City, beginning August 15, 2024. The organization has been working for several years to recreate Lafayette grand tour. For information, see www.lafayette200.org.

One of the stops was in Chester and on October 5, 2024, an event will take place to commemorate the event. On July 26, 2025, events will take place in Chadds Ford and West Chester.

The members of the local and national committees of the American Friends hope you will attend as many of the celebrations as possible.

“I didn’t know France helped us (in the American Revolution)”

During my book events, I interact with many people in the community. My travels take me to many areas in Pennsylvania and neighboring states. The one lament I hear time and again is that schools don’t teach American history.

On Saturday in Boiling Springs at a very successful arts and craft show, a young man stopped to peruse my history and true crime books. He appeared to be in his mid-20s and he was articulate. His main interest was centered on the book I wrote about the sniper-killings of two Kennett Square policemen. He asked some good questions about the case and the evidence against the convicted murderer.

We began a brief discussion on my books on Lafayette. His knowledge of the American hero who was wounded at the battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, was limited. I mentioned that Lafayette was responsible for the support from France that the United States needed to gain our freedom from England.

“I didn’t know France helped us,” was his reply.

The brief statement left me dumbfounded. The young man obviously had no understanding of the founding of our country. Indeed, wherever he went to school, the educational system was a failure.

In contrast, a woman stopped by my booth the same day and talked about the school system and the substance being taught. She and her friends have had enough of the perverted curriculum, she declared.

The discontent and divisiveness in this country on a myriad of subjects is evident by the one-on-one discussions I have at book events.

The American Friends of Lafayette is commemorating the bicentennial of Lafayette being honored as “America’s Guest.” For 13 months, Lafayette traveled the country in 1824 and 1825. Almost daily, parades, dinners and special events were held to honor his assistance in winning our freedom. For those interested in additional information, see www.lafayette200.org.

Renowned artist Karl J. Kuerner and author Bruce E. Mowday

present a special program on their book Emotional Brandywine

at the General Warren on Wednesday, June 26

Those attending will have a chance to interact with artist and author

MALVERN _ The historic General Warren is hosting a dinner program with artist Karl J. Kuerner and author Bruce E. Mowday. They will give a presentation on their newly released book, Emotional Brandywine.

“The General Warren is a wonderful venue to talk about the American Revolution,” Mowday said. “The inn played a part in the Philadelphia campaign just after the September 11, 1777, battle at Brandywine.”

The event takes place on Wednesday, June 26, 2024, at the General Warren, 9 Old Lancaster Road, Malvern. The event begins at 5:30 p.m. with a 30-minute reception with light hors d’oeuvres. A meet and greet the artist and author will take place.

Dinner will be served at 6:00 p.m. Kuerner and Mowday will then give the presentation. Reservations are required for the event. To make a reservation, call the General Warren at 610 296-3637 and mention the lecture. The cost is $59.00 per person and includes dinner, unlimited soft beverages, coffee, and family style mini sweets. Adult beverages, tax and gratuity are additional.

Kuerner created 22 paintings depicting the essence of the largest land battle of the American Revolution. Mowday captured the history of the historic engagement and the emotion fashioned by Kuerner’s paintings.

“This is our second book in a series,” Kuerner said. “We began with Emotional Gettysburg. I selected scenes to paint that had significance to our nation’s history. Bruce wrote the essays. Readers told us after reading Emotional Gettysburg, they never will view Gettysburg the same.”

Mowday added, “The area covered by the battle at Brandywine, from the village of Kennett Square, across the fields of Chadds Ford and on to the town of Chester, is special today and in history. Karl creates special, thoughtful paintings. Karl’s paintings are impressive in Emotional Brandywine.”

Signed books will be available for purchase.

Kuerner was raised on land where skirmishes took place during the battle of Brandywine. His neighbors were the Wyeth family of artists. Kuerner’s artistic talent was recognized and nurtured at a very young age by Carolyn Wyeth – sister of Andrew Wyeth and a renowned artist in her own right.

Kuerner grew up surrounded by artists and the task of painting. From the age of seven he watched Andrew Wyeth paint some of his greatest works at the Kuerner Farm – Karl’s family homestead for three generations – and a major source of inspiration for more than 1,000 of Wyeth’s works of art – and eventually over 300 of Kuerner’s own works.

As Kuerner matured artistically, Andrew Wyeth took a keen interest in the young artist and took him under his wing – mentoring and teaching him for more than three decades. “Wyeth looked at Karl Kuerner and said, ‘It’s up to you to carry this on. And it won’t be easy’. . . . Wyeth added, ‘Karl understands what I’m about: pure, deep, emotion. I have always emphasized to Karl that an artist must paint what he loves . . . and Karl has been painting that which he loves for nearly forty years now. His work is inspiring and deeply introspective . . . it exhibits a strong honest quality that comes from deep within and touches the ordinary in a profound way.”

Although Kuerner was initially influenced by the Wyeths, he is certainly not one of them – nor does he want to be. He is described by many as a fine painter of great merit – possessing his own intimate and straightforward style. He paints realistically using strong abstract shapes. He paints portraits of great variety. For more information on Kuerner and his paintings, see www.karljkuerner.com.

Mowday is an award-winning author and newspaper reporter. He has authored more than 25 books on history, sports, business and true crime. Mowday has appeared on numerous television and radio shows. For information on Mowday, see www.mowday.com.

Interact with authors Mary Walsh and Bruce E. Mowday

as the duo conducts a Book Marketing Workshop

at General Warren Inn in Malvern

You Wrote a Book… Now What? takes place Wednesday, July 10 at 7:00 p.m.

MALVERN _ The General Warren Inne is hosting a Book Marketing Workshop with Pennsylvania authors Bruce E. Mowday and Mary Walsh. The evening’s program includes ample time to talk with the authors about book projects and the writing life.

Walsh, who is featured in talks and signings in New Orleans, Florida, and Massachusetts, and Mowday, who conducts signings and talks on his history and true crime books in a myriad of states, have teamed to provide valuable information on the publishing and marketing of books.

“This seminar – You Wrote a Book… Now What? – is for published authors, about to be published authors and those intrigued with the writing life,” Mowday said. “The General Warren provides a wonderful and relaxed setting for our workshop.”

The General Warren Inne is located at 9 Old Lancaster Road, Malvern. At 6:00 p.m., Walsh and Mowday will greet attendees in the Warren Tavern. Attendees are welcome to order beverages and food from General Warren on an ala carte basis. The kitchen is open until 9 pm.

The workshop begins at 7:00 p.m. To register for the event, go to bit.ly/BookMarketingWorkshop. The workshop cost is $49 per person. Preregistration is encouraged. Walsh and Mowday conducted a highly successful similar workshop in Lancaster earlier this year.

With more than 25 years of combined experience, Walsh, who lives in Mechanicsburg, and Mowday, who lives in East Goshen, will share their priceless knowledge of marketing books in the independent and traditional marketing worlds. Their marketing is non-traditional and successful! Two publishers asked Bruce to write books on marketing tips for authors.

“We are limiting the audience because we want to have enough time to talk individually with each participant,” Mowday said. “While some marketing techniques are common sense and universal, finding out what works best for the individual author is usually the key to success.”

Some of the subjects to be covered:

Are you ready to publish?
How do I identify my best salesperson?
What is the good, bad and ugly of personal appearances?
How do I make the most of my marketing budget?
What are the steps to building a following?
What are successful marketing strategies?
How do I identify my audience?
Is self-publishing a money-making venture?
What is involved in self-publishing?
What are the realities of being an author?

A majority of Walsh’s books are fiction and the majority of Mowday’s books are non-fiction. Their approaches are somewhat different. Mowday, who has published more than 25 books and in December had 13 books ranked in the top 2 percent of all books listed on Amazon, has a non-traditional outlook on marketing.

A family outing takes place on Saturday, July 20, 2024

THORNBURY _ A historic family celebration with Revolutionary War artifacts, honored guests and a preview of a movie on the battle of Brandywine, Lafayette and the preservation of sacred land will take place at Thornbury Farm on Saturday, July 20.

“Last year’s Lafayette Day was a huge success as almost 200 people attended our first Lafayette event at Thornbury Farm,” said host Randell Spackman, farm owner, history enthusiast and member of the Board of the Pennsylvania Historical Museum Commission. “This year we have added additional events and activities for the whole family. This will be a day to be remembered!”

Thornbury Farm is located at 1256 Thornbury Road, West Chester. The event will take place from 11:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. There is plenty of parking. Besides the historical aspects of the day, activities for children will take place, food trucks will provide refreshments and vendors will be on the property along with displays from non-profit organizations.

“This is perfect timing to kick-off the national Lafayette Bicentennial Celebration,” said Bruce Mowday, chair of the Lafayette Bicentennial Brandywine Committee. “The American Friends of Lafayette has devised a 13-month celebration to mark Lafayette’s return to the United States as our nation’s guest. The celebration begins on Friday, August 16, 2024, on the lower Manhattan shoreline where Lafayette will disembark to begin the bicentennial of the farewell tour. Two hundred years ago to the day, Lafayette landed at Castle Clinton. Following will be a parade in New York City where thousands of people are expected to participate. A flag raising at Evacuation Plaza will be the beginning point of the parade with the conclusion at City Hall where a famous portrait of Lafayette is housed.”

The celebration at Thornbury Farm will include information on the 13-month national celebration. Items pertaining to the celebration authorized by the American Friends of Lafayette will be available for purchase. Future events are being planned to commemorate Lafayette bicentennial visits to Chester on October 5, 2024, and to Chadds Ford and West Chester on July 26, 2025.

Lafayette was wounded during the battle of Brandywine on September 11, 1777, near the Thornbury Farm. The spilling of his blood marked the beginning of Lafayette becoming a national hero. Taking part in the July 20 event will be Craig Caba, curator of the J. Howard Wert collection. Caba will display items from the Wert collection relating to Lafayette and Revolutionary War medicine. Caba will also give a talk. For a second year, Mowday will lead a heritage walk from the farm to the field where Lafayette was wounded.

Mary Armstrong of Space Cat Films will preview her movie on Brandywine, Lafayette and the necessity of preserving historic land.

“We are so lucky to have Craig and Mary participate in Lafayette Day,” Mowday said. “I’ve worked with both of them on exciting projects.”

Spackman and Mowday will both be featured in the Armstrong movie. Also, Spackman and Mowday are members of Chester County’s 250^th committee planning the celebration of the anniversary of our nation’s founding.

Representatives from Chester and Delaware counties have indicated they will attend and a proclamation is expected to be read.

Members of the Latta family will be on hand to read the invocation their ancestor read at a dinner in West Chester honoring Lafayette. Besides Jim and Alison Latta, Guillaume Haccard will read the message in French.

Signings by local authors and artists producing work on Lafayette will be included. Mowday, Shay Allen and Karl J. Kuerner are expected to take part.

The American Friends of Lafayette is scheduling many events to mark the American Hero’s return to America.

Recent comment from a reader: “This man reigns from Chester County and always seemed to present a balanced view in his early career covering the Courts. I have watched him blossoming into a highly respected author and has not written a boring one yet. We now have another budding celebrity hailing from the region. If you are a book enthusiast, order his books. They are polished and interesting. I’m not usually a big history reader but I’ve enjoyed his work. They are interesting as well as informative His name is Bruce Mowday. I like Bruce because he is talented and a gentleman. I would not push his product if I did not believe it was good work.”
