The Battle of Soor - SYW - Sept. 30 1754 - William A Greenwald

Austrians, Led by Charles, in a move of surprising boldness, marched on the Frederick's Prussian camp in Bohemia. They occupied the hills that Frederick, in a lapse of judgment, had failed to fortify. Frederick was undeterred. He formed his forces in columns and lines facing Charles. The initial attack of cavalry and grenadiers was thrown back, but the second line, under the capable Ferdinand of Brunswick, carried the hills.
