"...and gave chase to Lafayette's, which number barely 3,000..." - a few words missing here!
"On the night of the 25 June, Wayne sent most of the advanced parties under Colonel Richard Butler, with McPherson, McCall, and Willis, to intercept Simcoe's force." - This is the first mention of advanced parties. Can you clarify what you mean here - do you mean the reinforcements, or were these advanced parties created from the larger 4,000 combined Continental force?
"McPherson, McCall, and Willis" - Who are these three? They've just been introduced into the article.
"Simcoe learned that the main force of Lafayette was not far off." - Doesn't make grammatical sense. Suggest 'Lafayette's main force' or somesuch.
"When Butler's force arrived, an infantry charge scattered the first wave into the nearby woods" - Is this a British charge, and the first wave American? This needs to be clarified.
"The charge forced Butler's men back, at which point the two forces disengaged."- You don't give a reason why they disengaged, as you do in the lede, ie that they both feared the arrival of reinforcements. This needs to be expanded upon.
Hmm, how did introduction of the fellows involved get left out? Ah well; I have rectified that and the other items. Thanks again for your reviewing, and let me know if more is needed. Magic♪piano02:32, 26 September 2010 (UTC)Reply
