Of this class Oliver H. Dockery of North Carolina was the leading man. Of those who had gone to the South after the war the most conspicuous were Lionel A. Sheldon of Louisiana, George C. McKee of Mississippi, Alfred E. Buck and Charles W. Buckley of Alabama.
The details of the march along Harmar's trace to the site of the present city of Fort Wayne it is not necessary to give. The army moved slowly, and gave the British agents under Alexander McKee plenty of time to furnish the redskins with arms and ammunition. The star of the Little Turtle was in the ascendant.
McKee, Dixon, and Girty were open and active agents in exciting the Indians to attack the American frontiers. They held frequent talks with them and supplied them liberally with goods and munitions of war.
The white captains, Alexander McKee and the Girty brothers, urged the warriors on. A messenger to the British father at Detroit brought back promise of reinforcements from there. The British father was sending his Butler's Mounted Rangers and three cannon, and the great white captain Matthew Elliott to command the whole army.
"Say, Jack, you ain't fergettin' what you promised to help Bud with the money that you said was comin' in soon, as Dick's share of a speculation you and him was pardners in? I'm powerful anxious to get him away from McKee." Jack had not forgotten the promise, but, alas, under the goading of Mrs.
As we were leaving the village, an old acquaintance of the Capt. said, "Let us know when you are coming back, and we will have a banquet and a dance while you and your men are here." Capt. McKee answered, "We will not come back until you have another visit from the Indians, and I don't believe you will want to dance then."
David McKee was a slave under John McKee, father of the late John McKee of this place. He was finally sold to a man by the name of Meriah Jackson. "David's masters were good to him" said Jenny "he learned to be a black smith under them". Aunt Jenny has the history of the 116th regiment, U.S.C. Infantry.
Either one of the three shots we hit him with would have killed any ordinary man." Capt. McKee now said, "Come, boys, we will scatter all over this little valley and look carefully into every bunch of brush and see if there are any of the Red skins left." After they had searched a half an hour, all the men returned without finding an Indian. The Capt. said to me, "Where shall we make our camp?
McKee and I taking the lead, and the boys following driving the horses we had captured from the Indians. Late that afternoon we struck the trail of a small band of Indians. I did not go far before I saw that it was quite fresh.
The next morning we pulled out of there bright and early, and it took us two days to make it back to the settlement that the Indians had robbed and in whose behalf Capt. McKee and I had gone out to punish the thieves, with what success the reader already knows. As soon as we landed, we sent word to all that had been robbed to come and get their stock.
