Comparing George Washington's Account Tab 1:Tab 2: When we came there, we were attacked by a party of French and Indians, whose number, I am persuaded, did not exceed three hundred men; while ours consisted of about one thousand three hundred well-armed troops, chiefly regular soldiers, who were struck with such a panic that they behaved with more cowardice than it is possible to conceive. The officers behaved gallantly, in order to encourage their men, for which they suffered greatly, there being near sixty killed and wounded. How is Washington's account similar to the newspaper account? Both accounts describe the hilly terrain. Both accounts describe how the British soldiers panicked. Both accounts describe the French and Indians’ battle formation. Both accounts describe how many soldiers were on each side.
