' Ifcar Sir: 1 am in receipt pf your letter of the 5th inst. in which, after referring to the hart I bore in the baule of the Thames. October 5, 18 13, you propound to me two questions in reference to the conduct . of General . Harrison on that occasion.. You ask tne : ' - . -Ai x.,- r . , . . 1 st. " Did y ou see.Gen. Harrison while the untile raged, and after Col. Johnson bid been wounded and taken off the ground, and jhear him encouragrng and animating his men ?" A . 't; ; - .., 2fl, " Was any part of the Infantry un der Shelby engaged in the action . ; My answer to-yoor enquiries will be bet ter understood by a plain statement of the facts which occurred upon the ground, so far as I witnessed them. . ; j f .) I was at the head or right of my compa ny, on horse-bark, waiting orders, at .about fify or sixty yards from the line of the en emy. Col. Johnson rode up and explained to uie the mode of attack, and said, in sub stance; ' Capt Davidson, I am directed by Geni Harrison, to charge and break tnrouah the Indian line, and form in the rear. My brother James will charge mf like manner through the British line at the same time. The sound of the trumpet will be the sig nal for the charge " In a few minutes the trumpet sounded, and the word " charge '' was j given by Col.Jobhson. The Col. charged within a few paces of me. We struck the Indian line obliquely and when we approached within ten or fifteen yards of their line, the Indians poured in a heavy fire upon, us, killing ten or fifteen of oor men, and several horses, and wounding Col. Johnson very severely. lie immedi ately retired. Dr. Theobald, of Lexington (I think) aided him off. I neither saw nor beard moreof Col. Johnson until after the action was over. The contest continued warm and animated fur some time where my company and part of Capt. Stucker's ! ft m m- I were; engaged. u er uoj. jonnson was taken off the field, 1 saw' Gen Harrison and Govj Shelby, both, and quite' near me. They were both on horseback, passing in Uie direction cf the crotchet, or angle. 1 well remember the animating and eucour aging manner irr which Harrson, as he pass ed, addressed' bis men.. It had a sensibe effect upon myself, and .seemed, T thought, not only toLstimulate my sptri'.s, but strength en mr bodv, fthen weakened bv loss of blood.) 'Fellow soldiers," shouted the intrepid bero, in tones thaVstirred the soul of kindred spirits, "keep close and shoot sure!; the day will be ours in a few min utes V He rode on ; I Was engaged, and saw no more of him. ' Immediately 'upon his leaving" us, going in the direction of the angle a desperate and severe struggle com menced at or near that point, b&tweeo the Infantry under Gov. Shelby and the Indians. Thif conlfict at the aug!, with Shelby's mer lasted, 1 think, at least five minutes: Several cf the Infantry were killed. Gov. Shelby himself told me he had several men killed, ind bad-found eight or ten Indians left dead oytheT EioujidiTthat point. This was the last severe coutest during the ac tion.
