To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Two thousand men could at this day hold it against three times their numbers. We think it is altogether probable this is the point where Gen. Greene so long held the British at bay. The duty which devolved on (Jen. Wayne on this occasion was of a most delicate nature. He was required to hold Gen. Knyphausen, who had 11, 000 men with him, in check, such a length of time"~as would prevent him from getting in the rear of the Americans fighting at Birmingham, w r hile he himself must needs leave th...e field before the British fighting at Bir- mingham should get in his rear and cut off his retreat. His retreat appears to have been precipated by a singular circumstance. The British and Hessian grenadiers and the light infantry made the attack on Sullivan and broke him while attempting to close the gap between himself and the troops on Mrs. Biddle's hill. They appear to have followed the flying troops until they became inextricably entangled in a thick woods from which they were unable to emerge.
