Something About Gen. Taylor

"The memorable defence of Fort Harri.
son was IN September, 1912. In Octo.
Der and November, Major Taylor, in com.
mand Of the Kentucky volunteers, and &C.
companied by Gen. Hopkins, made two
expeditions into the Indian country, one
against the Kickapoo villages on the I'LL.
nois river, the other against the settlements
in the neighborhood Of Tippecanoe. No
general engagement was fought, but they
were attended with many hardships and
privations, and proved Of incalculable ben

nois. Several Of the enemy's towns and
large quantities Of provisions were de.
stroyed. This demonstration of our strength
inspired them with awe. In the winter
Of 1918, Major T. was appointed to SUPER
intend the recruiting service in Indiana
and Illinois, in which he continued with
industry and success until July; that month
he proceeded with force of Rangers and
Kentucky volunteers against the Massassi-
naway town near the source Of the Wa
bash. The town was found abandoned,
and meeting with no supply of provisions,
the detachment was exposed during its re-
turn to the severest privations.
"In the spring of 1914 he was ordered
TO ST. Louis, TO take command Of the troops
in the Missouri territory, and was actively
employed on its frontiers until August. 1t
was then ascertained that the British had
taken Fort Shelby at Prairie du Chen,
and we're in great force on the Mississippi
with regulars and Indian allies. Gen. How.
ard was furnished with ten companies of
badly organized rangers and about one
hundred and twenty efficient regulars, to
protect the frontier of Indiana, Illinois,
and Missouri, and restrain the depreda.
lions Of the various savage tribes. With
these slender resources he had to protect
the interior settlements and furnish detach.
men,s TO invade the Indian territory. OF
these, that which assembled the Mississippi
under Major Taylor, was the most import
ant in its object and most beneficial in its
result.
"On the 22d of August, 1914, Major
Taylor received orders to take command
Of 500 men, principally militia, provided
with boats and few pieces Of artillery, to
ascend the Mississippi as high as the In.
