The British might have won the field, but they squandered an opportunity to squash American forces in Virginia. That failure would set up the British to lose the all-important Battle of Yorktown.
That darn Tarleton again! He seems to have been as dastardly, or more so, as the character he obviously inspired in The Patriot.
I do love the re-ignition of my love of history your column has given me since I found it several years ago. Now I'm "reading" more history books than non-fiction, ok a bunch are audio books because I can work in the yard and still read.
Thank you Tara. I'm not sure that I understand how the contingent force led by "Mad Anthony Wayne " was able to escape but, I am very glad that they succeeded in their escape and eventual victory over the British.
Otherwise, we might be speaking with a British accent.
Brilliant move by Mad Anthony Wayne!

Thank you Tara!
