Captains Lamb and Hubbard, and Lieutenants Steele and Tisdale, were among the wounded.

Every officer at the second barrier received several balls through his clothes, and some of them were severely scorched by the powder from the muzzles of the muskets discharged at them.

But the loss most deplored, and most fatal to the hopes of the American army, was that of their general.
Richard Montgomery was a native of Ireland, and had served with reputation in the late war.

After its conclusion he settled in New York, where he married an American lady, and took a decided part with the colonies in their contest with Great Britain.

His military reputation was high throughout America.
