About This Book

A firsthand journal of a militia campaign in the 1812 conflict, recounting marches, supply shortages, maneuvers, a decisive defeat, and the subsequent capture and treatment of prisoners by Native forces. The author records daily camp life, battlefield experiences at the River Raisin, and the emotional and physical toll on Kentucky volunteers and regular soldiers. Entries include official orders and organizational details alongside eyewitness observations, and the volume concludes with two appended narratives by wounded men who were taken captive, presented with an emphasis on accuracy and acknowledgment of differing witness recollections.
