Battle of the Clouds
Introduction
The Battle of the Clouds (also called the Battle of Goshen) occurred after the battle of Brandywine during the Revolutionary War. The battle was fought in East Goshen and the surrounding area between British forces commanded by Lieutenant General Sir William Howe and American forces commanded by General George Washington.
An extremely strong rainstorm, probably a nor’easter, gave the unusual name to this battle and resulted in the retreat of the Continental Army.
