Note 84 — SECTION XVII: CHAPTER IV
Reading edition
Marchand in his dispatch says 1,300 men in all were lost, and a gun; he makes no mention of the eagle. His aide-de-camp, Sprünglin, who has a good account of the battle in his Mémoires (pp. 370-1), gives the total of 1,500. The Spaniards exaggerated the loss to 3,000.
