Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Compendious Account of the Late War, to Which Is Added, the Curious Adventures of Corporal Samuel Stubbs (a Kentuckian of 65 Years of Age) The first battle which we shall herein record (which was the commencement of hostilities) was fought on the 25th of July, 1812, when a scouting party, of one hundred men, from Gen. Hull´s army, were attacked by about the same number of Indians, near the river Canau, and after skirmishing two or three hours, returned to the main body, having lost 4 men killed and 2 wounded. It was ascertained by deserters, that the Indians lost 10 or 12 killed, and many more wounded. Gen. Hull is now at Sandwich, having entered Upper Canada at the head of the north western army, without opposition. The American flag is proudly waving in a province of the British dominions. But we shall soon learn the triumph was short. The General, and all his army, soon after surrendered to a force which they expected to conquer, and submitted to the humble condition of prisoners of war. August 8th, Col. Miller was detached to proceed to the River Razin, with the 4th regiment of United States troops, and detachments from the Ohio and Michigan volunteers, the whole force consisting of six hundred foot and forty cavalry.
