Battle of Brownstown The Battle of Brownstown was an early skirmish in the War of 1812 . Although United States forces outnumbered the British forces 8 to 1 , they lost the battle and suffered substantial losses while the enemy was almost untouched . The battle occurred near Brownstown , a Wyandot village south of Fort Detroit on Brownstown creek . Brownstown was also known as " Sindathon ' s Village " . Carlson High School in Gibraltar , Michigan , is near the site of the battle . Background . Encouraged by the British , the Mingo , Wyandotte , Miami , Delaware , Shawnee , Kickapoo , Sauk , Ottawa , Ojibwe , Potawatomi , Mohawk and Chickamauga joined an alliance in 1783 against the United States of America . The alliance was originally formed at the Sandusky villages of the Wyandot , but after those villages were destroyed , the council fire was moved to Brownstown . Walk In The Water and seven other Wyandot chiefs petitioned the U . S . on February 5 , 1812 , and obtained a 50 - year possession of Brownstown and Monguagon ; he lived at Brownstown and commanded the Wyandot warriors . On August 5 , 1812 , Major Thomas Van Horne and 200 U . S . soldiers were en route south to the River Raisin , where they were to pick up cattle and other needed supplies and escort them back to Fort Detroit for the use of Brigadier General William Hull . Hull was , at the time , in the Canadian village of Sandwich , now known as Windsor , Ontario , although he would abandon his position there and return to Detroit on August 8 . Battle . As the U . S . Forces forded Brownstown creek , the 200 U . S . soldiers were set upon by two dozen Indians led by the Shawnee war chief Tecumseh , Chickamauga war chief Daimee , Wyandot chief Roundhead , and several others . Faced with such opposition , Van Horne ordered a retreat , whereupon the untrained American militia scattered in a panic . Van Horne was able to save only half of his command ; 18 men were killed , 12 were wounded , and 70 went missing . Most of those listed as " missing " were dispersed during the battle and returned to Detroit during the ensuing days . Aftermath . Josiah Snelling , known colloquially as the " Prairie Chicken " , was cited for gallantry for his actions during the Battle of Brownstown , and promoted to Major . Later , after Hull surrendered Fort Detroit to Tecumseh , Snelling ' s testimony was used at Hull ' s court - martial . One minor chief , Blue Jacket , died in the battle . Two active battalions of the Regular Army ( 1 - 5 Inf and 2 - 5 Inf ) perpetuate the lineage of the old 4th Infantry , elements of which were present at the Battle of Brownstown . By an act of the United States Congress on June 1 , 1813 , the widows of those men killed in the battle were awarded half pay for five years . In at least one case , that of Jacob Pence , $ 953 . 43 was paid in October 1832 and $ 422 . 53 in April , 1839 , for a total of $ 1 , 375 . 96 .
Blaenllyfni Castle Blaenllyfni is a ruinous castle near the village of Bwlch in southern Powys , Wales . It was at the centre of the Fitz Herbert barony of Talgarth , which was created as a third part of the Brecon lordship in 1208 . The castle was therefore most likely constructed in 1208 – 1215 . It was sacked by Prince Llywelyn ab Iorwerth and Richard Marshall in October 1233 . Soon rebuilt , it was apparently taken by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd in 1262 , but by September 1273 it had been retaken by Reginald fitz Peter fitz Herbert . Around 1322 the castle was seized by the Crown and given to the Despensers . At the time of the execution of Hugh Despenser the Younger in 1326 , it was nearly ruinous , probably having never been adequately repaired after the siege by Llywelyn ap Gruffydd . The castle is on private grounds . There are remains of a keep and several towers . References . Remfry , P . M . " The Castles of Breconshire " . Logaston , 1999 . Anglo - Norman - Castles

Harold Keke Harold Keke ( born 1971 ) is a Solomon Islands warlord involved with the Guadalcanal Revolutionary Army ( GRA ) . Biography . The grandson of one of the founders of the South Seas Evangelical Church in Australia , Keke was raised a Catholic in the Solomons , but left the faith to become a petty criminal in Papua New Guinea . After a number of years , he returned home , where he took work as a police officer , and embraced evangelical Christianity . During the 1990s , tensions flared up between indigenous inhabitants of Guadalcanal and immigrants from neighboring Malaita . Following the election of Bartholomew Ulufa ' alu , militants , including those led by a newly - radicalized Keke , began a campaign of intimidation and violence against Malaitan settlers . This , including Keke ' s 1998 raid of a police armory , led to the formation of the Malaita Eagle Force ( MEF ) and all out ethnic warfare in the islands . Keke views himself as a prophet , leading his people to their " promised land " . He also claims that he had political backing for the start of the conflict from then - premier Ezekiel Alebua — who provided money , weapons , and ammunition for the GRA . This claim has been denied by Alebua , who calls Keke " little more than a violent thug " . During the ensuing conflict , the MEF gained the upper hand , deposing the government and gaining control of most police forces ; making them a " de facto " extension of the militias . Many of the militias opposed to the MEF struck a peace deal in late 2000 , but Keke refused to sign , moving his soldiers into the jungles of the Weather Coast to avoid capture . The GRA , under Keke ' s leadership , has been accused of a variety of crimes , including arson , kidnapping , assassination , and murder . Keke has been personally implicated in more than 50 murders , including that of cabinet minister and priest Augustine Geve , as well as seven missionaries from the Melanesian Brotherhood . In late 2003 , following the arrival of a multi - national intervention force led by Australia , Keke called for a cease - fire , and surrendered to peace - keepers . In 2005 , he was convicted of the murder of Geve , and sentenced to life in prison .
Manuel Isidoro Suárez Manuel Isidoro Suárez ( 1799 – 1846 ) was an Argentine colonel who commanded Peruvian and Colombian cavalry troops in their wars of independence .

He was the great - grandfather of Argentine writer Jorge Luis Borges , who commemorated him in three poems : Role in the Battle of Junín . On August 6 , 1824 , the revolutionary and royalist armies confronted one another on the plain of Junín . The revolutionaries occupied the low ground , while the royalist cavalry held better territory . The armies clashed at around four in the afternoon . In the initial melee of " swords and sabers " , revolutionary general William Miller ' s hussars were forced back . This initial setback led Simon Bolívar to withdraw from the field to his infantry rearguard . Reunited , they hurried back and waited once more for the royalist cavalry under Canterac . Colonel Suárez commanded the Peruvian Hussars , part of Miller ' s cavalry . Suárez and his men concealed themselves in a twist in the road , where they lay in wait for the enemy . They did not leave with the rest of Miller ' s cavalry , observing that Canterac ' s entire cavalry was riding in pursuit . Suárez allowed them to pass and then ordered the attack . The royalists found their unguarded flank under attack . The royalists attempted to regroup and return the attack , but began to break rank and were pursued and defeated by the Peruvian Hussars , the Colombian Grenadiers , the Mounted Grenadiers , and Colombian Hussars . The partido of Coronel Suárez , in the south of Buenos Aires Province , and its main city , Coronel Suárez , were both named after him .
