The American force consisted of 4243 infantry and some 3000 irregulars for the most part backwoodsmen from the frontier while the British force amounted to 1445, exclusive of their cavalry, who, however, took little part in the fight.
The consequence was, that during the three succeeding years only 165 out of 4243 children died within the first two weeks, or less than 4 in 100. As there was no other known cause of improvement in the health of these children, it may be justly inferred that, during the four years first mentioned, 2650 children, nine tenths of the whole number, had perished for want of pure air.
