The Indians were very wary not to expose themselves.

They kept at a great distance, and were not very successful in their fire.

Though they wounded quite a number, only four men were killed.

With the dawn of the morning they all vanished.
General Jackson did not wish to leave the corpses of the slain to be dug up and scalped by the savages.

He therefore erected a large funeral pyre, placed the bodies upon it, and they were soon consumed to ashes.
Some litters were made of long and flexible poles, attached to two horses, one at each end, and upon these the wounded were conveyed over the rough and narrow way.
