 tabulated form in an appendix, which has not heretofore been

It will be seen that these returns are imperfect. They do 

 not include Shelby's loss; yet his regiment was alongside of 

 Campbell's, did its full share of the work, and probably suf- 

 ered as much as Sevier's, for instance. But it is certain that 

 in the hurry not all the killed and wounded were enumerated

 non's" (Brandon's) commands were some of those joining at 

 the Cowpens. Winston's loss is doubtless included under 

 Cleavland's. It will be seen that Williams' troops could 

 have taken very little part in the action.
