Synopsis
Excerpt from Notes on the History of Fort George During the Colonial and Revolutionary Periods: With Contemporaneous Documents and an Appendix
I The credit of this victory, nevertheless, belonged to Gen. Wyman, who assumed com mand early in the day, when Johnson was wounded and carried from the field.
Q The following is an additional item of interest recently contributed to the history of this battle: Our Cannon (which under God it appears to me) saved us were heard down as low as near Saratoga, notwithstanding the wind was in the south, 85 something considerable, (it which by the way was a great disadvantage to our troops, as the smoke was drove in our faces. The wounded was brought in very fast, 85 it was with the utmost difficulty that their wounds could be dressed fast enough, even in the most superficial manner, having in about three hours near forty men to be dressed,& Dr. Pynchon, his mate Billy (one of his students) myself were all to do it, my mate being at Fort Lyman attending upon divers sick men there. The bullets flew like hail-stones about our ears all the time of dressing, as we had not a place prepared of safety, to dress in the wounded in, but through God's goodness we received no hurt any more than the bark of the trees 85 chips flying in our faces by accidental shots, which were something frequent. Our Tent was shot through in diver places, which we thought best to leave and retire a few rods behind a shelter ofa log house, which so loose laid as to let the balls through very often. I have not time to give a list of the dead which are many, by reason I have not time to attend the wounded as they ought to be. - The Campaigns against Crown Point in 1755 and 1756.
