Excerpt from A Narrative of the Battle of Brownstown: Which Was Fought on the 9th of August, 1812, During the Campaign of the North Western Army Under the Command of Brigadier General Hull

The object of publishing the following narrative is not to gain fame as a writer, nor to emblazon to the public the deeds of those who were actors in the scene. The first I have no claim to, and the second I do not desire.

One object is to relate a simple story of facts which are not generally known, and which, I think, cannot but be interesting to those who take the trouble to read it. But the principal object is to give the historian all opportunity of selecting such parts of it as he may think proper.

I have often conversed with gentlemen of intelligence on the subject of the campaign of the North Western Army under the command of General Hull, in 1812, who appeared to possess but very little correct information relative to the transactions of that army. I am desirous that some one, more able, who possesses the necessary information should give a correct and detailed history of that campaign. The following narrative relates to one event, only, the particulars of which have never before been published.

So little was said about it at the time, that the impression on the public mind, that such an event ever occurred, is nearly lost. The distance of the scene from the populous parts of the country, and the interruption to them, by the enemy, confined the intelligence of the engagement to the army, and to the few inhabitants of the territory of Michigan, until it was brought out by the parolled prisoners of war, after the fatal surrender of the army and of the territory, to the enemy, by general Hull.
