Lew Bishop OF Detroit contributes the fol-
lowing bit OF history to the Detroit Tribune:
AS the patriotic people OF Trenton and vicin-
lty propose 10 celebrate the sixty-fourth ami
verrary of the battle o; Monguagon, which
took place on the present site Of Trenton, on
the 9th of August, 1912, few words on the
subject may be appropriate. The battle Of
Brownstown. so called, should not be con-
founded with the battle Of Monguagon, as they
often are by writer's OF history. They were
entirely distinct engagements. The first battle
named took place on the 9th OF August, 1912,
at the place where the road from Detroit to
Ovid crossed Brownstown Greek, between Que
and two miles from Lake Erie, and about a
mile south west OF the present village Of Glib
ralter. The Americans troops were commanded
by Major Van Horne. The enemy were COM
posed OF a few British regulars, some Canadian
volunteers, and one or two hundred Indians
under Tecumseh. A sharp action eDsued IN
which Van Horne was defeated, and he then
fell back about twelve miles up to the River
Ecorse.
Gen. Hull was then in Canada, but he at once
recrossed to Detroit. and sent Col. Miller down
with about six hundred men, regulars and vol
unteers. who, on the 9th OF August, 1912, met
Major Muir, of the British army. at the pres
emit site of Trenton, then called MoDguagon.
The enemy was composed OF British regulars,
Canadian volunteers and large body OF Indi-
ans under Tecumseh. The forces were about
equal. and there was gallant and bloody work
on both SIDES Col Miller gained brilliant
victory. The enemy was compelled to retrea.,
and his whole force at once returned to Maiden,
