Tribal Resistance

Tribal Resistance. Escaping Clark's Offensive. , "By this time the brass Six-pounder, taken by Clarke at Vincennes, was brought up and put into position. The men were formed on an elevation above the fort into a hollow-square, excepting Logan and his regt. The cannon was fired a dozen or 15 times from the hollow-square, the balls shivered the stockade whenever they struck." , Henry Wilson, 1843, "Logan, hearing the heavy fires crossed at the upper ford came quickly to their aid. Thus the chief pass was left unguarded, and the Indians availed themselves of it and escaped. Logan, having nothing to do, and hearing so obstinate a firing, was not at all blamed for re-crossing under the circumstances." , Henry Wilson, 1843, "In this skirmish, a nephew of General Clark, who had some time before run away from the Monongahela settlements, and joined the Indians, was severely wounded. He was a great reprobate, and, as said, was to have led the Indians in the next morning's attack before he expired he asked forgiveness of his uncle and countrymen." , Abraham Thomas, 1839, "There were fields of corn in every heart of the creek from Boston to Springfield. There was great preparation for the crops; and we had no doubt from the condition of it that it had been cultivated by the British soldiers - 800 acres at New Boston. The army was three days cutting the corn down. It was not quite ripe enough for eating but much of it was sued." , Simon Kenton, 1833
