2 Letters displayed in bold face appear in Tarleton's Campaigns, but are not on the PRO/30/11 list. They have been added to this list for reference.
3 Highlighted line items are skirmishes involving the Legion. These are included as reference points.
4 This document is dated Nov 5 in the PRO catalog. That is the date Tarleton wrote on it, but the letter itself refers to events at Blackstocks, and is clearly a follow-up of his report of Nov 24. [ back ]
5 The copy in Greene is actually addressed to Col. Francis Lock. According to the editorial comments (Greene, 7:228n) several copies were sent to various officers. The one catalogued in the PRO was likely addressed to Colonel James Huggins since no "Col. Hagens" can be identified. [ back ]
6 This description from the PRO catalog is a misreading. According to McArthur, he countermanded his own previous order upon Tarleton's arrival in camp. [ back ]
