Reporting the Battle of Lundy's Lane-- Part 2

"General (Winfield, of Mexican and Civil War fame) Scott dangerously wounded.  General Brown (U.S. Army commander) has had two balls extracted, and was doing well.

"Lieutenants Spencer and Wirt mortally wounded.

P.S. General Brown received his wounds at the same instant during a late part of the action, but still continued keep his horse until exhausted by loss of blood.  This probably has rendered his wounds more painful than they otherwise would have been."
