From She Would Be a Soldier; Or, The Plains of Chippewa by M. M. (Mordecai Manuel) Noah

Not a word, dear general, not a word; I have merely done my duty, and done no more than every soldier in our ranks. (GENERAL: What is the result of this day's action?) The enemy has lost upwards of 500 in killed and wounded, and several principal officers have been taken prisoners. (GENERAL: In what position were they when the attack became general?) The British commander, pressed by our artillery under Towson, issued in all his force from his entrenchments. It was a gallant sight, to see his solid columns and burnished arms advance on the margin of the river, and his cavalry, with lightning's force, dart on our flanks to turn and throw them into confusion: but they were met by the volunteers under the brave Porter, and gallantly repulsed.
