was attacked by Captain Ben Logan
and "a party Of whites. Most Of the

and children. Tccumsch. who had
run al the first fire. was broken
hearted when he realized how poorly
he had conducted himself. but within n
year he redeemed himself In fight
near the Ohio river he was foremost IN
the attack. All the whites were killed
except one and Dee was burned at the
