Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Views of the Campaigns of the North-Western Army, &C: Comprising, Sketches of the Campaigns of Generals Hull and Harrison A Nute and Interesting Account of the Naval Conflict on Lake Erie Military Anecdotes Abuses in the Army Plan of a Military Settlement View of the Luke Coast From Sundusky to Det Without detaining the reader with the formality of a preface, I come directly to my object, which is, to give an impartial view of the Campaigns of the North-Western Army, &c. The aspect of affairs on the north-western frontier, had determined the executive of the United States, as early as April, 1812, to send a respectable military force into the Michigan Territory. The open hostility of several of the Indian tribes in that quarter; the defenceless condition of the frontier inhabitants and the moral certainty of a war with England, rendered this measure indispensible. If the expedition had been as ably executed and supported, as it was wisely planned, the happiest consequences would have resulted the - effusion of much blood prevented. Weighty considerations required that this force should be promptly raised. Accordingly a requisition for a detachment of 1500 men, was made to the governor of Ohio, who thereupon immediately issued orders to the commandants of divisions to furnish 500 men each.
