The Battle of Guilford Court House Nathanael and his now grown army re-crossed the Dan River to pursue Cornwallis. On March 15, 1781, the British met the Continental Army at the Guilford County Courthouse at midday. The first engagement occurred four miles from the courthouse, with Harry Lee’s (Light Horse Larry Lee: Father of Gen. Robert E. Lee, General of the Confederate Army) Dragoons. The British sent reinforcements forward, and Lee ordered a retreat to the main body of Greene’s Army. Greene had set up his army into three lines. The first line consisted of North Carolina Militia. In the second line, he placed Virginia Militia with two 6 lbs. Cannons. His third line consisted of his regulars from Virginia Regiment, Delaware Infantry, and the 1st and 2nd Maryland Regiments. The third line was his best line. The British rushed forward but were soon halted by the 1st line who rested on a picket fence to aim precisely at the British. The 1st line to the west fled back through the woods. While the British forced themselves through the first two lines, they suffered significant losses. When Lt. Macleod arrived, he ordered two British cannons to fire directly on the Dragoons, but when doing this, he was also firing on his own men.
