Stories such as this, taken in isolated form, would seem disastrous to the Patriot cause. If not for that last sentence, the whole story would be sad indeed. However, everything would be made worthwhile in short order and the invading British forces would soon be brought to their knees. Huzzah!
A day of remembrance for those who died to win our freedom. It is sad that the American commander did not have the wisdom to better disperse his men in a defendable manner much less to remain in one position too long.
Thank you Tara. Groundhog day, remembered by a loss at Youngs house? It is sad that skirmish ended badly for the Continental Army but as you say, ultimate victory and freedom were just around the corner. God bless the United States of America and all who have died defending this wonderful nation.
There is a "list of names" in Heaven of men and women that gave up their own safety, their freedoms, and even their lives [just to save my life] to live a life of freedom in my country.
I could never thank them enough........No one can!
The least Americans can do today, is to give distinction and Honor to those that are standing "The Watch" for our freedoms.
Remembering those who fought and gave the ultimate of life for the cause. Though this battle may have gone better had the American commander followed suggested plans. Thank you Tara for another history lesson I did not know.

A very sad account of a battle that could have avoided.
