The Winning of the West, Volume Two

CHAPTER VII
39/57

Patterson, to show the gratitude he felt, gave him a horse and saddle, and a hundred acres of prime land, the first he had ever owned.
The loss of the defeated Kentuckians had been very great.

Seventy were killed outright, including Colonel Todd and Lieutenant-Colonel Trigg, the first and third in command.

Seven were captured, and twelve of those who escaped were badly wounded.

[Footnote: Those are the figures of Boon's official report, and must be nearly accurate.

The later accounts give all sorts of numbers.] The victors lost one of the Detroit rangers (a Frenchman), and six Indians killed and ten Indians wounded.
[Footnote: Caldwell's letter.
