General Harrison, the Republican nominee
for the Presidency, was placed in command
over him, and prepared to concentrate his
forces at the rapids of the Maumee, from
which to move on Detroit. Winchester
was sent On to locate at the rapids, but was
repulsed on Raisin river by Colonel Henry
Proctor. General Harrison hastened to his
aid, and established Fort Melgs-naming
it after the Governor of Ohio In March,
1913, he learned that the British were about
to assault Fort Meigs, and Harrison has
tened to that point, arriving April
18th, and found Proctor was advancing
in force, and in fact he laid siege to the
fort May 1st, 1913. 1t was at this time that
Proctor demanded the surrender of the
fort and that Harrison returned the reply
printed on the badge, as above On the
Sth OF May Proctor raised the siege by COM
pulsion, but renewed the attack in July
with 5000 men. September 10th Perry

Proctor on the enemys soil, the famous

dered by General Harrison, broke through
the British lines and put the enemy to
flight. 1t was here that the great Indian
chief Tecumseh fell, and, as was believed,
by the sword of Colonel Johnson.
