FIERCE BATTLE ON
CAMPBELL's ISLAND RECALLED

The sale of Campbell'S island TO the
East Moline & WATERFOWL Suburban
railway and its dedication To the
peaceful picnickerS of these parts,
recalls the fact that it was the scene
of fierce and bloody conflict many
years ago. In the month of July,
1874. Il company of regulars. volun-
Iteers and rangers. in three barges
left ST. Louis for Prairie du Chen
under the respective command of
Lieutenant Campbell. Captain Rector
and Lieutenant Riggs.
The expedition reached Rock Is
Hand: that is, the island on which the
arsenal * now situated. The town of
stephenson. later Rock Island. had
not vet been built. Some of the In
dian tribes were at peace but the Sac
and Fox Indians. although they still!
profesSed peace. Swarmed around the
boats i'm great numbers. The boats
\ lay still at night at or near the sac
and Fox villages at Rock Island and
the Indians were all night making
hollow profession of friendship. Many
of the French, after battle. affirmed
that they knew the Indians would at
tack the boats and accordingly had
Informed Lieutenant Campbell. but
/ he disbelieved them. The fleet set
sail i'm the morning. and above Rock
| Island the wind blew so hard that
CampbeIl's boat was forced on the
lee shore and lodged on a small is
Hand near the main land. known from
this circumstance as CampbelIs is
| land. When the wind drifted the
boat on shore the Indians under
Black Hawk commenced an attack
on it. The boats of Rector and Riggs
were ahead and the occupants could
see the smoke of the fire arms but
could not hear the report of guns.
They returned TO assist Campbell.
Int the wind was so high that their
barees were almost unmanageable.
When Campbell's boat was driven
ashore by the wind he placed senti-
nels and the men commenced cook
ing their breakfast. but the enemy in
hundreds rushed on them. killing
many on the spot. the rest taking
refuge in the boat. Hundreds of the
warriors were ON and around the boat
and at last set il on fire. Campbelfs
boat was now burning and the bot
tom. covered with the dead. the
wounded and blood. They had al
most ceased firing when Rector and
his brave men most ably came to the
rescue Campbell himself lay wound
ed on his back in the bottom of his
boat and many of his men were dying
around him. Riggs boat was well
fortified but his men were ineXper-
fenced sailors. Rector took all the
live men from CampbeIl's boat TO his
own and his men in the water hauled |
their own boat out in the stream.
Rector had his boat crowded with the |
wounded and the dying. but rowed |
the boat night and day until they |
reached ST. Louis. Riggs boat also |
reached St. Louis safely.
