The defeat of the Army of the Northwest in Michigan
The Battle of Frenchtown (which was also known as the Battle of
the River Raisin and subsequently the River Raisin Massacre) was a
particularly disastrous episode for American forces during the War
of 1812. It took place near to modern day Monroe in Michigan in
January 1813. Advancing American forces under Winchester, deputy
commander of the Army of the Northwest, forced British forces and
their Indian allies out of Frenchtown after light skirmishing as
part of an initiative intended to eventually recapture Detroit. The
incidents described in this book took place over a four day period
that encompassed several engagements. After an initial retreat the
British forces rallied, counter attacked and inflicted a decisive
defeat on the Americans, killing almost 400 of them. Subsequently
the Indian allies of the British fell upon large numbers of
American wounded and prisoners, including Kentucky Volunteers, and
slaughtered them-the event that gave the engagement its notoriety.
The battlefield saw more Americans killed than in any other single
combat of the War of 1812 and holds the unfortunate record of being
the deadliest conflict fought upon the soil of Michigan. This
unique Leonaur edition contains three pieces about the battles in
the River Raisin region, among them several valuable first-hand
accounts by participants and survivors that provide the modern
student with a comprehensive overview of the times from several
perspectives. A valuable addition to the libraries of all those
interested in the War of 1812.
Leonaur editions are newly typeset and are not facsimiles; each
title is available in softcover and hardback with dustjacket; our
hardbacks are cloth bound and feature gold foil lettering on their
spines and fabric head and tail bands.
