[edit] Article needs some editing

The article misleadingly indicates that 15,000 American troops were used in the attack, when only 6,500 were available, with the rest being down, in reserve, or part of Lawton's flank to the north. Secondly, the casualties for the Spanish are too low. Over two hundred Spanish troops were killed, with at least as many wounded. The American casualties may also be higher.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.235.181.102 (talk • contribs)

So please fix it, with sources --AW (talk) 21:23, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Not that I don't believe you, but those numbers are going to have to be referenced from somewhere and included. If they are facts from what is in the Reference Section then by all means they should be included. If those new facts contradict the facts we have, and those contradicted facts are referenced aswell, then we need to include in the page that discrepancies occur in diffrent accounts of the event. Wiseman, you seem knowledgeable on the subject, maybe you should change it. Cheers, AgPyth. AgPyth (talk) 18:27, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
