In its dispersal the Hessians bore a conspicuous part, but obtained not much substantial satisfaction for the hard blows they had suffered on previous days, as the Americans made good their escape -- in fact fled in every direction with the utmost diligence. Yet a noticeable loss was inflicted-- 22 killed, 24 wounded, and one missing, a total of 47, or about half as many as our side lost in the well-fought engagement on Chatterton's Hill. The famous battle of Hart's Corners well merits the more descriptive name-- which we borrow with acknowledgments from Dawson-- of the Rout of the Bashful New Englanders. Most of the fugitives tied across the Bronx River, whither they were pursued by the Hessians. This trifling circumstance proved a principal factor in determining the scene of the conflict historically known as the battle of While Plains. The commander of the pursuing Hessian force was Colonel Raid, a gallant officer-- the same who fell two months later at Trenton. Raid, in his chase of the New Englanders, approached Chatterton's Hill, and observing that that summit was occupied by an American body, conceived it to be his duty to turn his attention thither. He accordingly abandoned the pursuit, advanced toward the hill (still moving on the west side of the Bronx), and took a station commanding it, whence he opened a cannonade of most pompous pretensions, whose only present result, however, was the wounding of one member of the New England militia regiment posted on the hill. That catastrophe so agitated the comrades of the hapless man that it is related they " broke and not rallied without much difficulty." But the hill was were sturdier fled, and soon to have defenders. The American troops on Chatterton's Hill who had engaged the attention of Colonel Rahl were Colonel Haslet's Delaware regiment (which participated in the raid on the Queen's Rangers), and a regiment of Massachusetts militia commanded by Colonel John It is unknown whether Washington's original plans for deBrooks.
