I Hreckinridge, in his History of the

In the South the war was also confided
to single individual. who was fully

Butler, in his History of Kentucky,

to the Battle of the Thames:
"The immediate fruit of this victory
was the surrender Of the whole British
force, amounting to about 600, including
officers, eight pieces of artillery three
of which had been at the field OF Sara
