To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Whenever the British and tories charged withthe bayonet, under Ferguson, De Peyster, or some of their lieutenants, the mountaineers were forced back down the hill; but the instant the redlines halted and returned to the summit, the stubborn riflemen followedclose behind, and from every tree and boulder continued their irregularand destructive fire. The peculiar feature of the battle was the successwith which, after every retreat, Campbell, Shelby, Sevier, and Cleavlandrallied their followers on... the instant; the great point was to preventthe men from becoming panic-stricken when forced to flee. The pealingvolleys of musketry at short intervals drowned the incessant clatter ofthe less noisy but more deadly backwoods rifles. The wild whoops of themountain men, the cheering of the loyalists, the shouts of the officers, and the cries of the wounded mingled with the reports of the firearms, and shrill above the din rose the calling of the silver whistle. Wherever its notes were heard the wavering British line came on, and theAmericans were forced back.
