The enfeebled American...

Is there any mistake in punctuation? I think using "ragged" and "taggerdemalions" is redundancy because they mean the same thing.


? The enfeebled American army was as usual suffering for want of clothing, arms, and food, "ragged tatterdemalions," as the British officers contemptuously called them.

That's OK. You can't change"'ragged tatterdemalions", because it is a direct quotation. Clive .
