Online Tour Stop 8- A Devastating Advance

As the Loyalists advanced within thirty paces of the earthworks, the Patriots opened up a devastating field of fire from muskets and cannons. On this site, 30 Loyalists fell dead and at least 20 more are wounded. Among the dead was Lt. Colonel Donald McLeod. The Loyalists attempted to take the earthworks three times during the battle, only to give up and retreat to their encampment 6 miles away.
