by William Smith
“This book is an authentic and reliable narrative of one of the earliest British military expeditions into the Territory northwest of the Ohio River. It narrates the details of the first victory, gained over Indian forces, by English troops, after the savages had been taught the use of fire-arms. The whole narrative is most entertaining for the interest of the subject, and for the quaintness of that highly literary style of the last century.”
- Peter G. Thomson, A Bibliography of the State of Ohio (1880)
