Nobody knows the number of Regulator casualties from the Battle of Alamance

The Battle of Alamance was a brief conflict that was over in just over two hours. Nobody knows the number of Regulator casualties from the Battle of Alamance.

The Regulators remained hidden throughout the fight behind rocks and trees, and Tryon’s militia set the woods that the Regulators were using as cover on fire, whenever one of them was killed or hurt, they would remove them from the fray right away. No one is aware of the Regulator numbers that were suffered that day because they failed to register the deaths and injuries after they were removed. According to one account, there may have been 20 fatalities and up to 100 injuries, however, other sources do not mention these figures. Nine men were lost on the side of the colonial militia, while 61 were wounded.
