The grapeshot of the British artillery helped disrupt one American attack after another. |
From the left side of the column the entire forest opened up in fire and smoke, six pound cannons pouring grapeshot into the Loyalist ranks. |
The latter succeeded, but the main attack failed as Jackson's artillery fired grapeshot and canister shot into the advancing British line. |
As the French charged, the British artillery batteries immediately began firing grapeshot at them. |
Apart from developments of this nature, there will only be, for the exploited of the area, whoever they are, blood and grapeshot. |
This widening out, according to the belief of this time, was intended to ensure a broad dispersion of the grapeshot. |
