About 1:30 in the afternoon March 15, 1781, British troops under the command of Lord Charles Cornwallis charged the forward position of American soldiers led by general Nathanael Greene. Depicted in this painting British reserves stand in formation near the Hoskins House and farm on the New Garden Road.

Ultimately, Greene was forced to retreat but it was a victory the British could ill afford. Cornwallis’ army suffered 27 percent casualties.
