How many people did Molly Pitcher kill operating the cannon her husband has just died next to?
well first off.. her husband wasnt killed. he was passed out from heat exhaustion on the nearly 100 degree day during the battle of Monmouth. second off, she didnt actually fire the cannon. she was a runner for the cannon, which means that she ran from the ammo box to the cannon to supply it with ammo. so she really didnt directly kill anybody. and there is no way for record to show which British soldiers were killed by which cannon, so there is no way to know how many she killed. You may have seen or heard that Molly Pitcher's husband was killed or shot but not killed, but these are dramatized historical inaccuracies.
