Race to the Dan River

General Morgan's army won a major victory at the field before you, reporting only twelve killed and sixty wounded, while the enemy lost 10 commissioned officers and more than 100 rank and file killed, 200 wounded, 29 commissioned officers and about 500 privates captured, along with two pieces of artillery, two standards, 800 muskets, one traveling forge, thirty-five baggage wagons, seventy Negroes, more than 100 dragoon horses, and all their musick. From here, the army moved into North Carolina, dismissed the militia, and the remainder hurried to the Dan River in Virginia before the British could overtake them and recapture the prisoners.
