Note 1165 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Another apologetic description is that in McSherry's Maryland (p. 286). The plain fact is that the 2d Maryland broke and contributed materially to the defeat of the Americans. The Grenadier Guards (Hamilton, ii. 247) did excellent work on the British side, and the account in the history of that corps is good. The Hessians, too, once more appeared on the Southern fields (Eelking, Hülfstruppen, ii. 101, and Lowell, Hessians, 268). Other accounts may be found in Marshall's Washington, iv. 336; Greene's Greene, iii. 176; Johnson's Greene, ii. 4; Allen, Hist. Amer. Rev., ii. 393; Andrews, iv. 100; Botta (Otis's trans.), iii. 263; Lossing, Field-Book, ii. 599 and 608; Mag. Amer. Hist., vii. 38; Harper's Magazine, xv. 158; Dawson, Carrington, etc.
