A couple of interesting things about Culloden. The Brits used a different strategy on the field that day: when the Scot to the right of the Brit infantryman raised his right (sword) arm to fight the guy in front of him, the Brit infantryman to the side would stab him with his sword under the armpit and into the side of the chest.

Also, one of the great heroes of the American Revolution, Gen. Hugh Mercer, was at Culloden, and because he was hunted after the battle, fled to America. He originally settled in Pennsylvania, met George Washington during the French and Indian war, became a friend of Washington's and died a hero during the battle of Princeton. Gen. Patton was a direct descendant of Hugh Mercer.

Mercer County in New Jersey is named after him.
