Daniel Morgan

“Don't fire until you see the whites of their eyes! Then fire and rush them!”

“Give me two shots at six hundred yards, and then you may have me.”

“Mark the epaulette men, and do not throw away a single shot.”

“I would not have had a swamp in view of my militia on any consideration; they would have made for it, and nothing could have detained them from it.”

“Old Morgan was never beaten.”

“I hope we shall be able to give these people a genteel dressing.”

“The day is our own.”

“We are more than a match for them.”

“I am not a man of letters, nor a politician, but I am a soldier of the Revolution.”

“The men fought with a degree of bravery that does them honor.”

“Never did I see so much fighting in so short a time. We drove the British from the field and took their cannon.”

“Our success was complete.”

“We are all Americans, fighting for liberty.”

“I am well pleased with the conduct of the officers and men.”

“We have whipped them in general actions, and we have slaughtered them in skirmishes.”

“On this occasion I was not a little flattered to find I had the confidence of my country.”

“I must be at the head of these people, or they would be guilty of some unjustifiable excesses, and I thought I could keep them to their duty.”
