Yesterday it started to rain. Before we ran inside we got soaked. First we ran into the building. Then the thunder and lightning lasted for hours.

The Battle of Eutaw Springs was fought Saturday, September 8, 17 1781 near Present-day Eutawville. The commanders for the British were Admirial Mariot Arburthnot, and Alexander Stewart. The commander for the U.S. was Nathanael Green. It started whenever the U.S. received reinforcements that day. Then they started the attack by running in their camps and taking over their camps and forcing the British to leave their uneaten breakfast. The U.S. ate all of the uneaten breakfast before they went back into the battle. The battle lasted for 4 hours until the both sides retreated from the battle field. There was no winner but the British were more successful than the U.S.The U.S. started with 2,200 troops and their casualties were 119 killed and 382 wounded.
