Note 9 — HISTORICAL RECORD
Reading edition
In the narrative of the campaigns of the Twenty-eighth Regiment, by Lieut.-Colonel Cadell, is the following remark in relation to the action at St. Gaudens:—
"This gallant corps (the Thirteenth) in a very short time cut the Tenth French Hussars to pieces, taking upwards of one hundred men and horses. Captain Macalister, who commanded the advance, distinguished himself. When we came up, the sight was truly melancholy: throughout the many actions in which we had taken share, we never had seen men and horses so dreadfully mangled. The horses were sold next day; but the best brought very little."
