Clair's clothes were pierced by eight bullets, but he was himself untouched. Narrative of Thomas Irwin, a packer, who was in the fight. General Butler had his arm broken early in the fight, but he continued to walk to and fro along the line, his coat off and the wounded arm in a sling.
He has detached six hundred of the Pennsylvania militia, however, under Colonel Griffin, to advance toward Bordentown." "'T is well, sir. Do you remain to participate in our attack?" "Yes, sir, I belong to General St. Clair's brigade." "You will find it over there; it has not yet crossed. Now, gentlemen, let us get aboard."
"Yes, that is the doctor we've been sewing for, is it?" "Certainly." "I tell you, hell is heaped with just such people." She went on in that strain that reminded me of St. Clair's "cursing up hill and down" that almost frightened the New England old maid of "Uncle Tom's Cabin." I trembled myself, expecting every moment that some member of the family would hear her.
Clair's purchases were sent home from New York and spread out on view, Patty could scarcely believe her own eyes. Were all those fine clothes really meant for her? The materials included silks, satins and velvets in bright colorings and somewhat conspicuous patterns. Some of the dresses were already made up, and these were befrilled and beflounced, with lace and embroidery.
And taking Eau Clair's arm she was again moving to the enchanting music of the waltz, which tends more to bewitch the souls of men than the music of any other dance, its gentle swaying motion, its soft bewilderingly seductive strains of music, are something to have felt the pleasurable sensation of.

Two who attempted to desert were hung; and another, who shot a comrade, was hung also; but even this severity in punishment failed to stop the demoralization. St. Clair a Broken-down Man and His Subordinates With such soldiers there would have been grave risk of disaster under any commander; but St. Clair's leadership made the risk a certainty.
Two thousand; Indians, Canadian militia and volunteers fled before them, and the rout was complete. The affair was so quickly over that there was no time for the incidents of heroism and suffering which heightened the tragedy of St. Clair's defeat.
His friends and neighbors were greatly excited about a victory which they had just gained over the United States troops under General Harmer. The next year, 1791, the new republic sent General St. Clair with a large army into the Indian country. Tecumseh's recent expedition had fitted him to be a good scout, and he was therefore sent out to watch the movements of St. Clair's troops.
"I knew rightly there was a lassie, and that she kissed you. Now you've tellt me yourself. But I willna split on you, nor I willna let on that you tellt on her. But I hope she's bonny, though she does not come from the County Down." Neal grew angry. It did not seem fitting that this red-haired, freckled servant, with her bold tongue and red arms, should make game of Una St. Clair's kisses.
