An eyewitness narrative and a companion officer's report offer detailed recollections of two Revolutionary War engagements, focusing on troop dispositions, skirmishes, casualties, and disagreements with earlier published histories. The author supplies corrections to mistaken accounts, describes a contested river crossing and close-range fighting, and recounts the circumstances of key officers' deaths and unit actions. Prefatory material traces the manuscript's provenance and includes biographical notes on the narrator, while the main text emphasizes firsthand observation, tactical detail, and contemporary rumor to reconstruct events and dispute inaccuracies in prior histories.
