- FOREWORD
-
-
-George Croghan, an officer in the War of 1812, typifies the patriotism,
-the bravery, and the gallantry of the young American of that period. At
-the age of twenty-one, he was in temporary command of the garrison at
-Fort Wayne for a brief time.
-
-His excellent record in the defense of Fort Defiance and Fort Meigs
-earned him the command of Fort Stephenson (the present site of Fremont,
-Ohio). His intelligent and valorous defense of the fort against
-overwhelming odds touched the imaginations and thrilled the hearts of
-the American people. His later life was uneventful; he served as United
-States postmaster at New Orleans and as inspector general in the regular
-army. He saw action under General Taylor in the Mexican War and died of
-cholera in New Orleans in 1849.
-
-The following account of Croghan’s early life, compiled by a woman who
-had known him as a boy, appeared in the supplement appended to Volume
-VII of the NILES’ WEEKLY REGISTER. The Boards and the Staff of the
-Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County reprint this biographical
-sketch in the hope that it will prove interesting and entertaining to
-students of local history. Grammar, spelling, and punctuation have been
-changed to conform to current usage.
-
- Frankfort, Kentucky
- July 22, 1814
-
- Sir:
-
-Upon receiving the letter which you addressed to me, I immediately took
-such measures as were necessary to procure the information you
-requested. I now transmit to you the result of my inquiries, regretting
-that it was not in my power to do it sooner.
-
-At the time when Colonel Croghan and I were inmates of the same house,
-he was in his fourteenth year. No incident occurred during that early
-period sufficiently interesting to find a place in his history; yet even
-then, his conduct exhibited a happy combination of those talents and
-principles which have already procured for him the admiration and
-gratitude of his country.
-
-Though ingenuous in his disposition and unassuming and conciliating in
-his manner, he was remarkable for discretion and steadiness. His
-opinions, when once formed, were maintained with modest but persevering
-firmness; and the propriety of his decisions generally justified the
-spirit with which they were defended. Yet, though rigid in his adherence
-to principle and in his estimate of what was right or improper, in cases
-of minor importance he was all compliance. I never met a youth who would
-so cheerfully sacrifice every personal gratification for the wishes or
-accommodations of his friends. In sickness and disappointment he evinced
-patience and fortitude which could not have been exceeded by any veteran
-in the schools of misfortune or philosophy. If I were asked to name the
-most prominent features of his character, or, rather, the prevailing
-dispositions of his mind at this period, I should answer, decision and
-urbanity; the former resulted from the uncommon and estimable qualities
-of his understanding, and the latter came from the concentration of all
-the “sweet charities of life” in his heart.
-
-I have seldom seen Colonel Croghan during the last eight years; but I
-subjoin the testimony of those who have observed him during that whole
-period. An intelligent young gentleman who was his associate in study
-and in arms has given me the following brief sketch of Colonel Croghan’s
-military career. I am transmitting his account together with such
-corroborative and additional facts as I have collected from other
-sources.
-
-“Lieutenant Colonel George Croghan was born at Locust Grove, Kentucky,
-near the Falls of the Ohio, on November 15, 1791. His father, Major
-William Croghan, left Ireland at an early period of his life; he was
-appointed an officer in the Revolutionary Army and discharged his duties
-to the satisfaction of the commander in chief. His mother is the
-daughter of John Clark, Esq., of Virginia. His maternal grandfather was
-a gentleman of worth and respectability; he exerted himself and
-contributed towards the support of our just and glorious contest with
-Great Britain. John Clark had five sons, four of whom were officers in
-the Revolutionary Army. William, together with Captain Lewis, explored
-the Louisiana Purchase lands and is at present governor of the Missouri
-Territory. He was too young to participate with his brothers in the
-achievement of our liberties. His conduct since has been a sufficient
-demonstration of the part he would have taken had he been riper in
-years. The military talents of another son, George R. Clark, have
-obtained for him the flattering appellation of ‘the Father of the
-Western Country.’
-
- [Illustration: ·····_ADMIRER OF THE WRITINGS OF SHAKESPEARE_·····]
-
-“Colonel Croghan has always been esteemed generous and humane. When he
-was a boy, his manly appearance and independence of thought and action
-commanded the attention and admiration of all who knew him. The
-selection of his speeches for scholastic exercises tended in some
-measure to mark his peculiar talent and were of an entirely military
-nature. He read with delight whatever pertained to military affairs and
-listened for hours to conversations dealing with battles. His principal
-amusements were gunning and fox hunting. He would frequently rise at
-twelve o’clock at night and would repair to the woods alone (or
-accompanied only by his little servant), either to give chase to the fox
-or to battle with the wildcat and the raccoon. Nothing offended him more
-than for anyone, even in jest, to say a word disrespectful of
-Washington.
-
-“While in Kentucky, his time was principally occupied with the studies
-of his native tongue, geography, the elements of geometry, and the Latin
-and Greek languages. In these different branches of knowledge he made a
-respectable progress.
-
-“In 1808, he left Locust Grove for the purpose of prosecuting his
-studies in William and Mary College. He graduated from this institution
-with a Bachelor of Arts degree on July 4, 1810; on that day he delivered
-an oration on the subject of expatriation. This oration was deemed by
-the audience to be concise, ingenious, and argumentative, and it was
-delivered in a manner which did great credit to his oratorical powers.
-During the ensuing summer he attended a course of lectures on law, and
-upon the termination of the course, he returned to his father’s home.
-Here he prosecuted the study of law and occasionally indulged in
-miscellaneous reading. Biography and history have always occupied much
-of his attention. He is an enthusiastic admirer of the writings of
-Shakespeare and can recite most of the noted passages of that great poet
-and philosopher. He admires tragedy but not comedy. He has (as his
-countenance indicates) a serious mind; yet no one admires a pleasant
-anecdote or an unaffected sally of wit more than he. With his friends he
-is affable and free from reserve. His manners are prepossessing, he
-dislikes ostentation, and he has never been heard to utter a word in
-praise of himself.
-
- [Illustration: ··_HE LEFT HIS FATHER’S HOUSE AS A VOLUNTEER_··]
-
-“In the autumn of 1811, the Battle of Tippecanoe was fought; it was the
-first opportunity offered for the display of his military talents. He
-embraced it with avidity—he left his father’s house as a volunteer and
-was appointed aid-de-camp to General Harrison. On November 7, an attack
-was made on General Harrison’s troops; the enemy were repulsed with
-valor, and during the engagement young Croghan evinced great courage,
-activity, and military skill. His services were acknowledged by all; he
-exhibited such proofs of genius for war that many of his
-companions-in-arms remarked that ‘he was born a soldier.’ A cant phrase
-among the troops was ‘to do a main business’; during the battle, Croghan
-rode from post to post exciting the courage of the men by exclaiming,
-‘Now, my brave fellows, now is the time to do a main business!’ On the
-return march of the troops following the battle, the army was frequently
-met by persons inquiring of the soldiers the fates of their children or
-friends. Among these was a very poor and aged man whose son had been
-slain in battle. Croghan learned of the old man’s plight, observed his
-inability to perform much bodily labor, regularly made fires for him
-every morning, and supplied him with provisions, clothes, and money.
-Many accounts of similar acts of kindness are related by the soldiers
-and officers of this campaign.
-
- [Illustration: ·····_HAVING WADED THROUGH MUD_·····]
-
-“After the Battle of Tippecanoe his military ardor was even more
-increased, and, upon hearing that a speedy declaration of war was
-forthcoming, he expressed a desire to join the regular army.
-Recommendatory letters of the most flattering kind were written by
-Generals Harrison and Boyd to the Secretary of War; at the commencement
-of hostilities against Great Britain, he was appointed a captain in the
-Seventeenth Regiment of Infantry. He was in command for some time at
-Clark Cantonment [Clarksville, Indiana], near the Falls of the Ohio; but
-after a brief period there he was ordered to march with his few regulars
-to the headquarters of the Northwestern Army at Detroit. His countenance
-beamed with delight upon receiving this order. Soon large bodies of
-militia and volunteers were marching to Detroit; but before they had
-proceeded far they heard of Hull’s surrender.
-
-“Shortly afterwards the command of the Northwestern Army was given to
-General Harrison. For a short time, Captain Croghan commanded Fort
-Defiance on the Maumee River; after the defeat of General Winchester, he
-was ordered to Fort Meigs. His conduct during the unforgettable siege of
-that fort was handsomely noted in General Harrison’s official report,
-and afterwards he was promoted to a majority and stationed with his
-battalion at Upper Sandusky. Late one afternoon information reached him
-by express of an attack upon Fort Stephenson [Fremont]. The distance
-between the two places was thirty-six miles, and the road was extremely
-bad. Because of the pitch darkness he and his men were obliged to lie
-down in the road and wait for the return of light in order to avoid the
-risk of losing their way.
-
-“He arrived at Fort Ball before sunrise the next morning, having waded
-waist deep through mud and mire and having been exposed to a heavy rain
-during the whole night. There he was informed that the report of an
-attack upon Fort Stephenson was unfounded; after remaining a few days,
-he proceeded to Fort Stephenson, after receiving orders to take command
-of that post. He arrived there about the fifteenth of July.
-
-“A few days later, Fort Meigs was besieged by large British and Indian
-forces. No doubt was entertained that the enemy would visit Fort
-Stephenson; accordingly, Major Croghan labored day and night to place
-the hastily built fort in a state of readiness. The necessity of cutting
-a ditch around the fort became apparent to him immediately. In order to
-foil the enemy if they should succeed in leaping the ditch, which was
-nine feet wide and six feet deep, he had large logs placed on the tops
-of the walls. The logs were adjusted so that a slight weight would cause
-them to fall from their position and crush to death all below. This
-improvement in the art of fortification took place only a few days
-before the attack. It is a novel idea and it originated with Croghan.
-
-“A short time before the action, he wrote the following concise and
-impressive letter to a friend: ‘The enemy are not far distant—I expect
-an attack—I will defend this post to the last extremity. I have just
-sent away the women and children with the sick of the garrison that I
-may be able to act without encumbrances. Be satisfied; I shall, I hope,
-do my duty. The example set me by my revolutionary kindred is before me;
-let me die rather than prove unworthy of their name.’
-
-“In the afternoon of the first day of August, the attack upon Fort
-Stephenson was commenced. The particulars of that memorable and
-brilliant action can be found in General Harrison’s official account of
-this period. A lucid statement of the honorable motives which influenced
-Colonel Croghan’s conduct on that occasion is contained in an ‘extract
-of a letter from himself to his friend in Seneca Town, dated August 27,
-1813.’ These accounts and other interesting particulars will be found in
-public prints issued between August 14 and September 16.
-
-“Major Croghan’s conduct after the battle was as noble as it had been
-during the hardest fighting. The wounded were treated by him with the
-greatest tenderness; with considerable peril, he gave them water by
-means of buckets let down by ropes to the outside of the pickets. During
-the night, when he could not safely open the fort, he had a tunnel dug
-under the wall and through it the wounded were conveyed into the fort.
-
-“Major Croghan accompanied General Harrison to Malden, but, as the
-brigade to which he was attached was stationed there, he did not
-participate in the Battle of the Thames. He is remarkable as a
-disciplinarian, and his orders are given with more promptness,
-precision, and energy than are usually found in the orders of older and
-more experienced commanders.”
-
-I have appended the following extract of a letter written by one of
-Colonel Croghan’s fellow students and fellow soldiers. It will throw
-additional light on the military character of that distinguished young
-officer.
-
-Lieutenant Colonel George Croghan is a native of Kentucky; he is the
-second son of Major William Croghan of near Louisville. He is the nephew
-of the gallant hero and accomplished general, George Rogers Clark, the
-Father of the Western Country, and of General William Clark, the present
-enterprising governor of the Missouri Territory. His father, a native of
-Ireland who early embarked to seek his fortune in America, was a
-distinguished officer in the War of the Revolution.
-
-Lieutenant Colonel Croghan was born on November 15, 1791, and received
-all the advantages of education which the best grammar schools in
-Kentucky could afford; in his seventeenth year he commenced a scientific
-course at William and Mary College in Virginia. In school and college he
-was known for his manliness of character, his elevation of sentiment,
-and his strength of intellect; all these virtues were connected with a
-high and persevering ambition.
-
- [Illustration: ··_THE WOUNDED WERE TREATED BY HIM WITH THE GREATEST
- TENDERNESS_··]
-
-In July, 1810, he graduated at William and Mary College, and soon
-afterwards he commenced the study of law. He continued to visit that
-institution until the fall of 1811, when he volunteered his services for
-a campaign up the Wabash. A short time before the action at Tippecanoe,
-he was appointed aid-de-camp in General Harrison’s headquarters.
-Although in his situation he was unable to evince that activity which
-later distinguished him, he exhibited an undaunted soul in one of the
-most sanguinary conflicts of the present day and received the thanks of
-the commanding general.
-
-In consequence of his services on the Wabash expedition, he was
-appointed a captain in the provisional army which was directed to be
-raised and organized in the spring of 1812. In August of that year he
-marched with General Winchester’s Kentucky detachment, which was to
-relieve General Hull in Canada. In the movements of that gallant but
-unfortunate little army, the caution, zeal, and military capacity of
-Captain Croghan were conspicuous. Both before and after the attack on
-Fort Wayne, the ground occupied by Captain Croghan was easily noticed
-because of the judicious fortifications erected in his areas. On the
-march of the army toward Detroit, he was entrusted with the command of
-Fort Defiance, at the junction of the Auglaize and Maumee rivers. There
-he manifested his usual excellent military arrangements. After the
-defeat at Raisin River, he joined General Harrison at Maumee Rapids
-before the erection of Fort Meigs.
-
-It is a credit to the discernment of General Harrison that he relied
-with the utmost confidence on Captain Croghan’s judicious defenses
-during the difficult siege of Fort Meigs by the British. In a sortie
-under the gallant Colonel Millar on May 5, the companies led by Captains
-Croghan, Laghan, and Bradford were given the task of storming the
-British batteries. These positions were defended by an English force and
-a body of Indians; both were superior in number to the assailants. Here
-Captain Croghan’s gallantry was again noticed in general orders.
-
-At a very critical period in the last campaign of 1813, young Croghan,
-now a major, was appointed to the command of Fort Stephenson, at Lower
-Sandusky. The official documents of the time and the applause of a
-grateful country are the most honorable commentaries available
-concerning his conduct in the defense of that post. The entire campaign
-was changed from a defensive to an offensive operation. The eventual
-outcome of the war was very materially influenced by the achievements of
-that single battle. For his valor and good conduct on this occasion,
-Major Croghan was breveted a lieutenant colonel.

-1.F.
-
-1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable
-effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread
-works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating the Project
-Gutenberg-tm collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm
-electronic works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may
-contain "Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate
-or corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other
-intellectual property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or
-other medium, a computer virus, or computer codes that damage or
-cannot be read by your equipment.
-
-1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right
-of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project
-Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all
-liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal
-fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT
-LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE
-PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH 1.F.3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE
-TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE
-LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR

-DAMAGE.
-
-1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a
-defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can
-receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a
-written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you
-received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium
-with your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you
-with the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in
-lieu of a refund. If you received the work electronically, the person
-or entity providing it to you may choose to give you a second
-opportunity to receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If
-the second copy is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing
-without further opportunities to fix the problem.
-
-1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth
-in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS', WITH NO
-OTHER WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT

-
-1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied
-warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of
-damages. If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement
-violates the law of the state applicable to this agreement, the

-remaining provisions.
-

-including legal fees, that arise directly or indirectly from any of
-the following which you do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this
-or any Project Gutenberg-tm work, (b) alteration, modification, or
-additions or deletions to any Project Gutenberg-tm work, and (c) any
-Defect you cause.
-
-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org
-
-Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation
-
-The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-profit
-501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the
-state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
-Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification
-number is 64-6221541. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent permitted by
-U.S. federal laws and your state's laws.
-
-The Foundation's business office is located at 809 North 1500 West,
-Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact links and up
-to date contact information can be found at the Foundation's website
-and official page at www.gutenberg.org/contact
-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations
-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt
-status with the IRS.
-
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
-States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
-considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up
-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular
-state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we
-have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition
-against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who
-approach us with offers to donate.
-
-International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make
-any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
-outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.
-
-Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
-methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other
-ways including checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic works
-
-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
-Gutenberg-tm concept of a library of electronic works that could be
-freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
-distributed Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of
-volunteer support.
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
-the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
-necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
-edition.
-
-Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm,
-including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to
-subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.

-<p>George Croghan, an officer in the War of 1812, typifies the patriotism, the
-bravery, and the gallantry of the young American of that period. At the age of
-twenty-one, he was in temporary command of the garrison at Fort Wayne for a
-brief time.</p>
-<p>His excellent record in the defense of Fort Defiance and Fort Meigs earned
-him the command of Fort Stephenson (the present site of Fremont, Ohio). His intelligent
-and valorous defense of the fort against overwhelming odds touched the
-imaginations and thrilled the hearts of the American people. His later life was uneventful;
-he served as United States postmaster at New Orleans and as inspector
-general in the regular army. He saw action under General Taylor in the Mexican
-War and died of cholera in New Orleans in 1849.</p>
-<p>The following account of Croghan&rsquo;s early life, compiled by a woman who had
-known him as a boy, appeared in the supplement appended to Volume VII of the
-NILES&rsquo; WEEKLY REGISTER. The Boards and the Staff of the Public Library of
-Fort Wayne and Allen County reprint this biographical sketch in the hope that it will
-prove interesting and entertaining to students of local history. Grammar, spelling,
-and punctuation have been changed to conform to current usage.</p>

-<p class="t0">Sir:</p>
-</div>
-<p>Upon receiving the letter which you addressed to me, I immediately took
-such measures as were necessary to procure the information you requested. I now
-transmit to you the result of my inquiries, regretting that it was not in my power to
-do it sooner.</p>
-<p>At the time when Colonel Croghan and I were inmates of the same house, he
-was in his fourteenth year. No incident occurred during that early period sufficiently
-interesting to find a place in his history; yet even then, his conduct exhibited
-a happy combination of those talents and principles which have already procured for
-him the admiration and gratitude of his country.</p>
-<p>Though ingenuous in his disposition and unassuming and conciliating in his
-manner, he was remarkable for discretion and steadiness. His opinions, when once
-formed, were maintained with modest but persevering firmness; and the propriety
-of his decisions generally justified the spirit with which they were defended. Yet,
-though rigid in his adherence to principle and in his estimate of what was right or
-improper, in cases of minor importance he was all compliance. I never met a youth
-who would so cheerfully sacrifice every personal gratification for the wishes or accommodations
-of his friends. In sickness and disappointment he evinced patience
-and fortitude which could not have been exceeded by any veteran in the schools of
-misfortune or philosophy. If I were asked to name the most prominent features of
-his character, or, rather, the prevailing dispositions of his mind at this period, I
-<span class="pb" id="Page_2">2</span>
-should answer, decision and urbanity; the former resulted from the uncommon and
-estimable qualities of his understanding, and the latter came from the concentration
-of all the &ldquo;sweet charities of life&rdquo; in his heart.</p>
-<p>I have seldom seen Colonel Croghan during the last eight years; but I subjoin
-the testimony of those who have observed him during that whole period. An intelligent
-young gentleman who was his associate in study and in arms has given me the
-following brief sketch of Colonel Croghan&rsquo;s military career. I am transmitting his
-account together with such corroborative and additional facts as I have collected
-from other sources.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;Lieutenant Colonel George Croghan was born at Locust Grove, Kentucky,
-near the Falls of the Ohio, on November 15, 1791. His father, Major William
-Croghan, left Ireland at an early period of his life; he was appointed an officer in
-the Revolutionary Army and discharged his duties to the satisfaction of the commander
-in chief. His mother is the daughter of John Clark, Esq., of Virginia. His
-maternal grandfather was a gentleman of worth and respectability; he exerted himself
-and contributed towards the support of our just and glorious contest with Great
-Britain. John Clark had five sons, four of whom were officers in the Revolutionary
-Army. William, together with Captain Lewis, explored the Louisiana Purchase
-lands and is at present governor of the Missouri Territory. He was too young to
-participate with his brothers in the achievement of our liberties. His conduct since
-has been a sufficient demonstration of the part he would have taken had he been
-riper in years. The military talents of another son, George R. Clark, have obtained
-for him the flattering appellation of &lsquo;the Father of the Western Country.&rsquo;</p>

-</div>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_4">4</div>
-<p>&ldquo;Colonel Croghan has always been esteemed generous and humane. When
-he was a boy, his manly appearance and independence of thought and action commanded
-the attention and admiration of all who knew him. The selection of his speeches
-for scholastic exercises tended in some measure to mark his peculiar talent and
-were of an entirely military nature. He read with delight whatever pertained to
-military affairs and listened for hours to conversations dealing with battles. His
-principal amusements were gunning and fox hunting. He would frequently rise at
-twelve o&rsquo;clock at night and would repair to the woods alone (or accompanied only by
-his little servant), either to give chase to the fox or to battle with the wildcat and
-the raccoon. Nothing offended him more than for anyone, even in jest, to say a
-word disrespectful of Washington.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;While in Kentucky, his time was principally occupied with the studies of his
-native tongue, geography, the elements of geometry, and the Latin and Greek languages.
-In these different branches of knowledge he made a respectable progress.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;In 1808, he left Locust Grove for the purpose of prosecuting his studies in
-William and Mary College. He graduated from this institution with a Bachelor of
-Arts degree on July 4, 1810; on that day he delivered an oration on the subject of
-expatriation. This oration was deemed by the audience to be concise, ingenious,
-and argumentative, and it was delivered in a manner which did great credit to his
-oratorical powers. During the ensuing summer he attended a course of lectures on
-law, and upon the termination of the course, he returned to his father&rsquo;s home. Here
-he prosecuted the study of law and occasionally indulged in miscellaneous reading.
-Biography and history have always occupied much of his attention. He is an enthusiastic
-admirer of the writings of Shakespeare and can recite most of the noted passages
-of that great poet and philosopher. He admires tragedy but not comedy. He
-has (as his countenance indicates) a serious mind; yet no one admires a pleasant
-anecdote or an unaffected sally of wit more than he. With his friends he is affable
-and free from reserve. His manners are prepossessing, he dislikes ostentation,
-and he has never been heard to utter a word in praise of himself.</p>

-<div class="pb" id="Page_6">6</div>
-<p>&ldquo;In the autumn of 1811, the Battle of Tippecanoe was fought; it was the first
-opportunity offered for the display of his military talents. He embraced it with avidity&mdash;he
-left his father&rsquo;s house as a volunteer and was appointed aid-de-camp to
-General Harrison. On November 7, an attack was made on General Harrison&rsquo;s
-troops; the enemy were repulsed with valor, and during the engagement young
-Croghan evinced great courage, activity, and military skill. His services were
-acknowledged by all; he exhibited such proofs of genius for war that many of his
-companions-in-arms remarked that &lsquo;he was born a soldier.&rsquo; A cant phrase among
-the troops was &lsquo;to do a main business&rsquo;; during the battle, Croghan rode from post to
-post exciting the courage of the men by exclaiming, &lsquo;Now, my brave fellows, now is
-the time to do a main business!&rsquo; On the return march of the troops following the
-battle, the army was frequently met by persons inquiring of the soldiers the fates of
-their children or friends. Among these was a very poor and aged man whose son
-had been slain in battle. Croghan learned of the old man&rsquo;s plight, observed his inability
-to perform much bodily labor, regularly made fires for him every morning,
-and supplied him with provisions, clothes, and money. Many accounts of similar
-acts of kindness are related by the soldiers and officers of this campaign.</p>

-</div>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_8">8</div>
-<p>&ldquo;After the Battle of Tippecanoe his military ardor was even more increased,
-and, upon hearing that a speedy declaration of war was forthcoming, he expressed
-a desire to join the regular army. Recommendatory letters of the most flattering
-kind were written by Generals Harrison and Boyd to the Secretary of War; at the
-commencement of hostilities against Great Britain, he was appointed a captain in
-the Seventeenth Regiment of Infantry. He was in command for some time at Clark
-Cantonment [Clarksville, Indiana], near the Falls of the Ohio; but after a brief
-period there he was ordered to march with his few regulars to the headquarters of
-the Northwestern Army at Detroit. His countenance beamed with delight upon receiving
-this order. Soon large bodies of militia and volunteers were marching to
-Detroit; but before they had proceeded far they heard of Hull&rsquo;s surrender.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;Shortly afterwards the command of the Northwestern Army was given to
-General Harrison. For a short time, Captain Croghan commanded Fort Defiance
-on the Maumee River; after the defeat of General Winchester, he was ordered to
-Fort Meigs. His conduct during the unforgettable siege of that fort was handsomely
-noted in General Harrison&rsquo;s official report, and afterwards he was promoted to a
-majority and stationed with his battalion at Upper Sandusky. Late one afternoon information
-reached him by express of an attack upon Fort Stephenson [Fremont].
-The distance between the two places was thirty-six miles, and the road was extremely
-bad. Because of the pitch darkness he and his men were obliged to lie down
-in the road and wait for the return of light in order to avoid the risk of losing their
-way.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;He arrived at Fort Ball before sunrise the next morning, having waded
-waist deep through mud and mire and having been exposed to a heavy rain during the
-whole night. There he was informed that the report of an attack upon Fort Stephenson
-was unfounded; after remaining a few days, he proceeded to Fort Stephenson,
-after receiving orders to take command of that post. He arrived there about the
-<span class="pb" id="Page_9">9</span>
-fifteenth of July.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;A few days later, Fort Meigs was besieged by large British and Indian
-forces. No doubt was entertained that the enemy would visit Fort Stephenson; accordingly,
-Major Croghan labored day and night to place the hastily built fort in a
-state of readiness. The necessity of cutting a ditch around the fort became apparent
-to him immediately. In order to foil the enemy if they should succeed in leaping
-the ditch, which was nine feet wide and six feet deep, he had large logs placed on
-the tops of the walls. The logs were adjusted so that a slight weight would cause
-them to fall from their position and crush to death all below. This improvement in
-the art of fortification took place only a few days before the attack. It is a novel
-idea and it originated with Croghan.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;A short time before the action, he wrote the following concise and impressive
-letter to a friend: &lsquo;The enemy are not far distant&mdash;I expect an attack&mdash;I will
-defend this post to the last extremity. I have just sent away the women and children
-with the sick of the garrison that I may be able to act without encumbrances.
-Be satisfied; I shall, I hope, do my duty. The example set me by my revolutionary
-kindred is before me; let me die rather than prove unworthy of their name.&rsquo;</p>
-<p>&ldquo;In the afternoon of the first day of August, the attack upon Fort Stephenson
-was commenced. The particulars of that memorable and brilliant action can be
-found in General Harrison&rsquo;s official account of this period. A lucid statement of the
-honorable motives which influenced Colonel Croghan&rsquo;s conduct on that occasion is
-contained in an &lsquo;extract of a letter from himself to his friend in Seneca Town, dated
-August 27, 1813.&rsquo; These accounts and other interesting particulars will be found in
-public prints issued between August 14 and September 16.</p>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_10">10</div>
-<p>&ldquo;Major Croghan&rsquo;s conduct after the battle was as noble as it had been during
-the hardest fighting. The wounded were treated by him with the greatest tenderness;
-with considerable peril, he gave them water by means of buckets let down by ropes
-to the outside of the pickets. During the night, when he could not safely open the
-fort, he had a tunnel dug under the wall and through it the wounded were conveyed
-into the fort.</p>
-<p>&ldquo;Major Croghan accompanied General Harrison to Malden, but, as the brigade
-to which he was attached was stationed there, he did not participate in the
-Battle of the Thames. He is remarkable as a disciplinarian, and his orders are
-given with more promptness, precision, and energy than are usually found in the
-orders of older and more experienced commanders.&rdquo;</p>
-<p>I have appended the following extract of a letter written by one of Colonel
-Croghan&rsquo;s fellow students and fellow soldiers. It will throw additional light on the
-military character of that distinguished young officer.</p>
-<p>Lieutenant Colonel George Croghan is a native of Kentucky; he is the second
-son of Major William Croghan of near Louisville. He is the nephew of the gallant
-hero and accomplished general, George Rogers Clark, the Father of the Western
-Country, and of General William Clark, the present enterprising governor of the
-Missouri Territory. His father, a native of Ireland who early embarked to seek his
-fortune in America, was a distinguished officer in the War of the Revolution.</p>
-<p>Lieutenant Colonel Croghan was born on November 15, 1791, and received
-all the advantages of education which the best grammar schools in Kentucky could
-afford; in his seventeenth year he commenced a scientific course at William and
-Mary College in Virginia. In school and college he was known for his manliness of
-character, his elevation of sentiment, and his strength of intellect; all these virtues
-were connected with a high and persevering ambition.</p>

-</div>
-<div class="pb" id="Page_12">12</div>
-<p>In July, 1810, he graduated at William and Mary College, and soon afterwards
-he commenced the study of law. He continued to visit that institution until
-the fall of 1811, when he volunteered his services for a campaign up the Wabash. A
-short time before the action at Tippecanoe, he was appointed aid-de-camp in General
-Harrison&rsquo;s headquarters. Although in his situation he was unable to evince that
-activity which later distinguished him, he exhibited an undaunted soul in one of the
-most sanguinary conflicts of the present day and received the thanks of the commanding
-general.</p>
-<p>In consequence of his services on the Wabash expedition, he was appointed a
-captain in the provisional army which was directed to be raised and organized in the
-spring of 1812. In August of that year he marched with General Winchester&rsquo;s Kentucky
-detachment, which was to relieve General Hull in Canada. In the movements
-of that gallant but unfortunate little army, the caution, zeal, and military capacity
-of Captain Croghan were conspicuous. Both before and after the attack on Fort
-Wayne, the ground occupied by Captain Croghan was easily noticed because of the
-judicious fortifications erected in his areas. On the march of the army toward
-Detroit, he was entrusted with the command of Fort Defiance, at the junction of the
-Auglaize and Maumee rivers. There he manifested his usual excellent military arrangements.
-After the defeat at Raisin River, he joined General Harrison at Maumee
-Rapids before the erection of Fort Meigs.</p>
-<p>It is a credit to the discernment of General Harrison that he relied with the
-utmost confidence on Captain Croghan&rsquo;s judicious defenses during the difficult siege
-<span class="pb" id="Page_13">13</span>
-of Fort Meigs by the British. In a sortie under the gallant Colonel Millar on May 5,
-the companies led by Captains Croghan, Laghan, and Bradford were given the task
-of storming the British batteries. These positions were defended by an English
-force and a body of Indians; both were superior in number to the assailants. Here
-Captain Croghan&rsquo;s gallantry was again noticed in general orders.</p>
-<p>At a very critical period in the last campaign of 1813, young Croghan, now
-a major, was appointed to the command of Fort Stephenson, at Lower Sandusky.
-The official documents of the time and the applause of a grateful country are the
-most honorable commentaries available concerning his conduct in the defense of
-that post. The entire campaign was changed from a defensive to an offensive operation.
-The eventual outcome of the war was very materially influenced by the
-achievements of that single battle. For his valor and good conduct on this occasion,
-Major Croghan was breveted a lieutenant colonel.</p>

-increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be
-freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the widest
-array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations
-where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To SEND
-DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any particular state
