About This Book
A first-person account by a Kentucky volunteer recounts a campaign in the Northwest, tracing marches, skirmishes with Indigenous warriors and British forces, the defeat of an American detachment, the massacre of captured soldiers, and the author's sixteen-month captivity among Indians and British. The narrative blends battlefield detail, camp life, raids on settlements, and encounters during marches, and offers eyewitness descriptions of suffering, privations, and leadership actions, sometimes critical of British officers. It aims to preserve the deeds and hardships of the volunteers for younger readers while delivering a concise, personal chronicle of wartime endurance and loss.
