If you explore the Brandywine historical sites don’t overlook the Hagley Museum, site of the du Pont black powder mills and associated residence. This book summarizes the property well but an in person visit is recommended.

An interesting little book I forgot I had, probably picked up at the more famous duPont mansion, Winterthur.
