| | Biography of Col. William Campbell |
 | | Colonel Arthur Campbell was some three years the senior of William Campbell; this fact, and his having been in youth a prisoner with the Indians, had given him the precedence in martial affairs. |
 | | General Campbell had a very imposing personal appearance--the beau ideal of a military chieftain with those who served under him, He was about six feet, two inches high, possessing a large, muscular, well-proportioned frame--rather raw-boned; with an iron constitution, capable of almost incredible endurance--and he was as straight as an Indian. |
 | | Major William Edmondson--or Edmiston, as frequently written in early days--the second in command of the Virginia regiment in the battle, was descended from Irish ancestry, and born in Cecil County, Maryland, in 1734. |
