To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Thus ended a sharp battle, in which the British lost, in killed, wounded, and missing, about fifty men, and the Americans about thirty. Of eleven missing Americans, ten had fled to their homes. The victorious British now entered the village, and Cockburn, who had come on shore, and was in chief command, gave the place up to pillage and rapine. The atrocities committed upon the defenceless inhabitants, par- ticularly the women, were deeply deplored and condemned by the British authorities and wr...iters. Cockburn, who was the chief instigator of them, covered his name with dishonor by the act. The British officers who tried to palliate the offence by charging the crimes upon the French- men, were denounced by the most respect- able British writers. A commission, ap- pointed to investigate the matter, said, in their report, " The sex hitherto guarded by the soldiers' honor escaped not the assaults of superior force." On the night of Aug. 7, 1861, this vil- lage, then containing about 500 houses, was set on fire by order of the Confederate General Magruder, and all but the court- house and seven or eight other buildings were consumed.
