The success on Lake Erie having opened pas
sage to the territory of the enemy, the officer com
handing the Northwestern arms transferred the
war thither, and rapidly pursuing the hostile troops
fleeing with their savage associate forced general
action, which quickly terminated in the capture of the
British, and dispersion of the savage force.
