General Woodford's brigade (600 men) came next, General Varnum following with 600 men, and then came Wayne with his picked men, 1,000 in number, and 2 pieces of field-artillery.

As the dragoons came galloping back, Wayne's men promptly formed to receive them, with Butler's...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
