Munroe stated that: After the first fire of the regulars, I thought, and so stated to Ebenezer Munroe ...who stood next to me on the left, that they had fired nothing but powder; but on the second firing, Munroe stated they had fired something more than powder, for he had received a wound in his arm; and now, said he, to use his own words, 'I'll give them the guts of my gun.'
Munroe a declarat: „„După primul foc al trupelor regulate, am gândit și i-am spus lui Ebenezer Munroe ...care stătea lângă mine în stânga, că n-au tras decât cu pulbere; dar la al doilea foc, Munroe a spus că au tras mai mult decât pulbere, căci a fost rănit la braț; iar acum, spune el, în cuvintele lui, 'o să le dau mațele armei mele.'
