pride in the vaior and patriotism OF the heroes OF

published in 1921. after giving general biogra-
ply of General Harrison, said:
Z" The defence of Fort Meigs and the subsequent
capture of the British army may he fairly considered
the brilliant and extraordinary events OF the late
war"
In abiding TO The battle Of the Thames, he said:
must be conceded that this rictory rejected great
honor upon the national arms and upon me troops by
rrhon Il rds adhered.
/" The action and the movements which preceded II,
afford ample testimony of the judgment and cool intre
pidity OF General Harrison and indeed, all the events
OF the campaign support these characteristics; the
disasters attending having, in no instance been im
putable to him
There are perhaps record few instances OF such
cool and steady intrepdty, on the part Of militia or
force Of this description, as was displayed on inns
occasion.
Harrison and Perry lci Detroit in the Ariel, and
arrived al Erie the I'D of October. Here they
were received with every demonstration of JOY and al
miration; the discharge Of cannon iuminations, &c.
They were hailed the delivcrers of the frontiers.
