Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Marquis De La Fayette in the American Revolution, Vol. 2 of 2: With Some Account of the Attitude of France Toward the War of Independence
From what I have heard from sensible and candid French gentlemen, the action does great honour to General Sullivan: he retreated in good order; he Opposed, very properly, every effort of the enemy he never sent troops but well supported, and dis played great coolness during the whole day. The evacuation I have seen extremely well performed, and my private opinion is, that if both events are satisfactory to us, they are very shameful to the British generals and troops; they had, indeed, so many fine chances to cut us to pieces.
