River Raisin by Ken Riley Print

River Raisin by Ken Riley. The Battle of the Thame, Moraviantown, Upper Canada -- October 5, 1813. Following Commodore Perry's success at Lake Erie, a U.S. force, commanded by General William Henry Harrison, engaged British troops 75 miles east of Detroit. His command included a regiment of Kentucky Mounted Riflemen led by Col. Richard M. Johnson, made up of picked militia volunteers armed with long Kentucky rifles and tomahawks. The Kentucky troops scattered the enemy army -- British regulars, and Indians under the famed Tecumseh. The Battle of the Thames was revenge for an earlier massacre of Kentucky militia on the River Raisin. Coupled with Perry's triumph, it ended a series of defeats and helped restore U.S. dominance in the northwest region. All Prints are presented & displayed at the largest size/resolution available.
