Note 1088 — Chapter VI · (continued 2)

Prevost had about three thousand men, but of these only two thirds were fit for duty when he retired from Charleston. Moultrie (Memoirs, i. 430) gives his own force at three thousand one hundred and eighty, including eight hundred Continentals. According to Prevost, Maitland had at Stono not far from eight hundred men, though Lowell (Hessians, 241) gives him only five hundred. The attacking party numbered twelve hundred. The American loss was one hundred and sixty-two; that of the British one hundred and thirty-one.
