Mingo Junction for their surprise
attack on the Sandusky villages.
A week later they had left the
eastern forests and were crossing
the first of the plains. Villages
they had meant to surprise were
deserted. Crawford's advance was
no secret.
In the meanwhile the Indians

It was the next night that
Crawford, alarmed by the arrival
