<h2>Strength of Forces, Casualties, and Destruction</h2>
<h3><i>Forces</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>As to
the number of the enemy engaged in this action, opinions are
so various that I am at a loss to know what to say; the most
general opinion is one thousand five hundred, one-third of
which are supposed to be Canadians; I am led to believe this
number is not over the mark
</li>
<li>they opposed
us with about 900 Indians & 150 Canadians
</li>
<li>From every account the enemy amounted
to two thousand combatants: the troops actually
engaged against them were short of nine-hundred.
</li>
<li>there were never more than 400 Indians engaged during
the whole day and these stood the shock of a great part of their Army for upwards
of two hours
</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>Casualties</i></h3>
<ul>
<li> most of them either killed or wounded</li>
<li>Lieut. H. B. Towles was killed</li>
<li>also
his sergeant, By the name of Eli Edmondson
</li>
<li>Capt. Robert Mis Campbell & Lieutenant Harry B.
Towles were killed and several officers badly wounded.
Lieutenant Solomon Vanranceller was shot in the right breast and
taken to the Generals Quarters
</li>
<li>John OBrion was with the
front guard this morning, & on the retreat he was shot in the low part of his back,
the
ball passed through the bottom of his Belly & lodged in a certain part in front, in
his
P——
</li>
<li>Among the Killed was that good, brave, gallant and
intrepid Captain Robert Mis Campbell, of the second Troop
Light Dragoons, and then commanding Officer of the Cavalry,
who fell in a Charge on the Enemy in an early Part of the Action
</li>
<li>Lieutenant Henry B. Towles, a brave and gallant Officer of the
4th Sub-Legion Light-Infantry, was also killed in the Course of
this Action
</li>
<li>several other intrepid Officers wounded</li>
<li>their dead to the number of forty</li>
<li>Our loss was thirty
killed and one hundred wounded.
</li>
<li>the loss of Captain Miss Campbell of the
dragoons, and Lieutenant Henry B. Fowles of the 4th sub-legion;
and of the latter, Captains Prior of the first, Slough
of the fourth, and Van Rensselaer of the dragoons, also
Lieutenant Campbell Smith of the fourth sub-legion
</li>
<li>The Entrepid Lieut. Towls
fell
</li>
<li>the Loss of Lieut. Towls & a fiew Infantry on our Side</li>
<li>was Killed 3 white men & several Indians mostly by the Riflemen</li>
<li>The whole ammount of the Killed on our
part were 240
</li>
<li>the loss of the Enemey not precisely ascertained but not
more than 30 or 40 were found Dead, and a fiew Canadians
</li>
<li>the loss of the brave Capt. M. Campbell at this Time</li>
<li>The wounds received by Capts.
Slough & Prior & Lieut Campbell Smith
(an extra aid de Camp to Genl Wilkinson) of
the Legionary Infantry, & Capt. Van Ransselaer
of the Dragoons, & Capt. Rawlins,
Lieut McKenney & Ensign Duncan of the
mounted Voluntiers bear honorable
testimony of their bravery & conduct.
</li>
<li>whilst I pay this just tribute
to the living, I must not forget the gallant
dead: among whom we have to lament the
early death of those worthy & brave Officers
Capt. Miss Campbell of the Dragoons and
Lieut. Towles of the light Infantry of the
Legion who fell in the first charge.
</li>
<li>Enclosed is a particular return of
the killed & wounded—the loss of the Enemy
was more than double, that of the Federal
Army
</li>
<li>the woods were strewed for a considerable
distance with the dead bodies of
Indians & their white auxiliaries, the
latter, armed with British muskets and
bayonets
</li>
<li>several of their Principal Chiefs fall;—The greatest cost they have
sustained is in their leaders
</li>
<li>lost in the whole but 19 men among whom are to be much lamented
8 Principal Chiefs of the Wyondots and two of the Ottawas, besides two more
wounded
</li>
<li>it appears the Americans lost
between 3 and 400 Killed and Wounded and a great many horses
</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>Destruction</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>all the
houses & corn fields were consumed & destroyed
for a considerable distance both above and
below Fort Miamis, as well as within pistol
shot of that Garrison, who were compelled
to remain tacit spectators of this general devestation
& conflagration.—among which were the
houses, stores & property of Colo. McKee the British
Indian Agent & principal stimulator of the
war now existing between the United States
and the savages.
</li>
<li>laying waste the
villages & cornfields for about fifty miles
on each side of the Miamis: there remains
yet a number of villages & a great quantity
of corn to be consumed or destroyed upon
Au Glaize & the Miamis above this place,
which will be effected in the course of a
few days
</li>
<li>all the store houses, my own House with many things that
could not be removed were burnt by a Party of General Wayne's Army
</li>
<li>The American Army have left
Evident marks of their boasted Humanity behind them besides scalping and mutilating
the Indians who were killed in Action, they have opened the Peaceful Graves
in different parts of the Country, Exposed the Bones of the consumed & consuming
bodies, and horrid to relate have with unparalleled barbarity driven stakes
through them and left them objects calling for more than human Vengeance.
</li>
</ul>
<h3><i>Landscape</i></h3>
<ul>
<li>On front & between the indians was a large quantity of
falling down Timber, which was a shelter for the indians, where they remained some
time
</li>
<li>found the way extremely bad, much embarrassed by the thickness of
the woods on the left and by a number of Steep Reviens on the Right
</li>
<li>the Ground for 5 miles high
& dry open Woods tall large Oaks
</li>
<li>a lo swampy ground with a great dale of
fallen Timber and thick brush with Hoop and black Ash bushes which
rendred the place difficult to see a Man 10 yds
</li>
<li>in sight of the
army was the River divided by a large Island well Cultivated with
Corn & beans and a number of Stacks of Hay which was a pleaseing
sight to the Army but more particularly to the Volunteers that was
across the River and bringing loads of Corn and Hay in one hour
after the army got to the ground
</li>
<li>a close thick wood
which extended for miles on our left; and
for very considerable distance in front, the
ground being cover'd with old fallen timber
probably occasioned by a tornado, which
rendered it impracticable for the Cavalry
to act with effect, & afforded the enemy the
most favorable covert for their savage mode
of warfare
