28th to Ebenezer Banks (Bradley MSS.) says that between 50 and 100 Indians were killed.] It was an easy victory.

The Indians suffered much more heavily than the Americans; in killed they probably lost two or three times as many.
Among the dead were white men from Caldwell's company; and one white ranger was captured.

It was the most complete and important victory ever gained over the Northwestern Indians, during the forty years' warfare to which, it put an end; and it was the only considerable pitched battle in which they lost more than their foes.
