They could make no stand at all, and the battle was won with ease.

So complete was the success that only the first line of regulars was able to take part in the fighting; the second line, and Scott's horse-riflemen, on the left, in spite of their exertions were unable to reach the battle-field until the Indians were driven from it; "there not being a sufficiency of the enemy for the Legion to play on," wrote Clark.

The entire action lasted under forty minutes.

[Footnote: Bradley MSS., entry in the journal for August 20th.] Less than a thousand of the Americans were actually engaged.

They pursued the beaten and fleeing Indians for two miles, the cavalry halting only when under the walls of the British fort.
A Complete and Easy Victory.
Thirty-three of the Americans were killed and one hundred wounded.
[Footnote: Wayne's report; of the wounded 11 afterwards died.
