-price on request
Answering General Washington's
call to reenforce the right wing at Dilworthtown,
General Greene sent Brigadier General George Weedon's
Brigade, comprised of the 2nd, 3rd, 4th,, 10th,and
14th Virginia Regiments and the Pennsylvannia
State Regiment. The troops made a remarkable maneuver,
covering hilly terrain at the pace of 3 or 4 miles
in 45 minutes. The average speed of walking is
about 3 miles and hour on flat ground...they trotted
to engage the British, and Weedon's Brigade arrived
to "give the enemy such a check as to have
the desired effect."
