Colonel Crawford was obdurate and insisted on resuming the march into the Indian country.
The next day we met the Indians coming directly toward us.

It was the combined force of the Delaware chiefs, Pipe and Wingenund.

The battle had hardly commenced when the redskins were reinforced by four hundred warriors under Shanshota, the Huron chief.

The enemy skulked behind trees and rocks, hid in ravines, and crawled through the long grass.

They could be picked off only by Indian hunters, of whom Crawford had but few--probably fifty all told.
