How naive he had been to think that the night before the battle might drag too slowly for him or that he would not be able to think about anything else other than what might happen on the morrow. They lit their campfires earlier than usual as it was generally agreed that they needed to eat earlier and then try to get a decent night’s sleep. Daniel took out his musket for the umpteenth time to make sure it was in proper working order. He did his best not to think about the battle itself. If he were asked for his honest opinion he might have said that he mostly felt that his side would win. Everyone knew the Williamite army outnumbered the Jacobites by thousands. In fact, Daniel was still getting used to the extraordinary sight of so many soldiers around him. Yet, still. Oh, he was a little scared all right, but he was glad to be. Only an arrogant man would profess to be completely fearless on the eve of a battle. Henry Campsie, for instance, had declared himself to be very much looking forward to fighting as if it was some sort of chummy sport like a boxing match or a horse race.
