Brig. Gen. Daniel Morgan destroyed the captured baggage wagons, paroled the British officers, entrusted the wounded to the care of a few residents in the neighborhood, and, leaving his cavalry to follow him on their return from the pursuit, on the day of the battle he crossed the Broad River with his foot soldiers and his prisoners, the captured artillery, muskets, and ammunition.


The date for this engagement is incorrect. Brig. Gen. Daniel Morgan retired after racing to the Dan River in VA and reuniting with Maj. Gen. Nathanael Greene in the early months of 1781.
