2 Literary Devices:
Hyperbole: "The men were so wild, they could hear no order," (Cox 18). (This is a hyperbole because it exaggerates the men being wild.)

Personification:"With all out war growing..." (Cox 25). (This is personification because it is saying that a war is growing.)

1 Sentence Summary:This section is basically still about how the men are marching to Concord.
