more than a mile in length. The Americans were drawn up in a line on the right side of the road,
and the French occupied the left. At the head of the former, the great American commander
[George Washington], mounted on his noble courser, took his station, attended by his aides. At the
head of the latter was posted the excellent Count Rochambeau and his suite. The French troops,

timbrel formed a part, is a delightful novelty, and produced while marching to the ground a most
enchanting effect.
