Interestingly, the reports mentioned c.400 Indians but modern historians believe it could have been as few as 100, creating the illusion of greater number as they screamed war cries and appeared briefly to fire from behind tree cover or from prone.
Yes, it would be very hard to accurately estimate the number of Indians due to their tactics and the cover provided by the woodland. 100 or so Indians could seem like a limitless horde of attackers if they were spread out through the forest and kept appearing all over the place.

After Pontiac's Rebellion, will you make videos on the American War of Independence or some other war not in North America?
There are plans to redo the zulu war, new content with the first boer war, and then the War of 1812

Not bad but not great either. Your channel is the least awful of all stupid TW battles.
There were actually only 447 men with Bouquet.
Still not right.

You say that with a lot of confidence considering you're wrong.
