SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The NPS 

is conducting this study in response to 

Public Law 109–249 which required a 

determination of the national 

significance of sites related to the battles 

of the River Raisin as well as the 

suitability and feasibility of including 

them in the National Park System. 

The significance of the River Raisin 

Battlefield derives from events early 

in1813 when, angry at the American 

surrender of Detroit to the British in 

August of 1812, militia from Kentucky 

marched to Frenchtown (today, Monroe) 

on the River Raisin south of Detroit. The 

town was occupied by predominantly 

French-Canadians who, threatened by 

the British, had asked for military 

protection. On January 18, 1813, 667 

Kentuckians successfully defended 

Frenchtown against a much smaller 

force of Canadian militia and Indians. 

Four days later, a British and Indian 

force launched a counterattack on the 

Kentuckians, together with a force of 

250 American regulars who had joined 

them, and inflicted tremendous harm. 

At the end of the battle, American 

casualties totaled 220 killed, 80 

wounded, and more than 500 taken 

prisoner. However, it was the attack on 

the wounded by the Indians the 

following day that most shocked the 

American conscience. While the 

wounded waited in Frenchtown for the 

British to bring sleds to carry them 

away, they were attacked by Indians 

who, came into the town to seek 

revenge. The Indians brutally murdered 

most of the wounded and burned down 

the town. The phrase ‘‘Remember the 

River Raisin’’ became a rallying cry for 

the later Battle of the Thames, the last 

battle of the War of 1812, which 

cemented the American victory. 

A portion of the River Raisin 

Battlefield was placed on the National 

Register in 1982. In the last few years, 

the city of Monroe has worked to secure 

grants to remove former industrial 

buildings on the site with the goal of 

reclaiming the historic integrity of the 

Battlefield.
