A battalion orderly book covers Prevost's raid. The first entry, April 27, 1779, was penned when the British forces concentrated at Ebenezer, Ga., about to cross into South Carolina; the last is dated June 15, five days before the British victory of Stono Ferry. The orders cover different aspects of the campaign: logistics; Southern loyalists; numerous Negro slaves who "horly resorts to the army," and particularly "great want of Dissiplen." The orders for May 29 noted that "the Batt[alio]n is now become so notorious for maurauding & plundering White & Negroe women of all Denominations, the men absenting themselves from camp day & night without leave asked or given," that the commanding officer had to call on other officers to "to exert their authority in support of their own character & at least to preserve some part of that character given to Scotsmen on the field."
