2: St Francis

Rough guesstimate of the original location of St. Francis. The Rangers spot smoke from the fires on Oct 3rd. They're down to 142 men and their supplies are exhausted.

They attack at 5am Oct 4th. After killing most of the inhabitants, the few remaining prisoners reveal an enemy force of 400 within a days march.

The Rangers head for No. 4.
