Natsilane - Origin of the Killer Whale Story

Harrison approached the enemy on October 5 with 3,000 men, including Johnson’s regiment. Finding the British lines thin, Johnson asked for permission to make a frontal assault with his mounted troops. Although a cavalry charge like this was unusual, Harrison acceded to the request. “The American backwoodsmen ride better in the woods than any other people,” he said. “I was persuaded too that the enemy would be quite unprepared for the shock and that they could not resist it.” Shouting “Remember the Raisin!”—the rallying cry commemorating the massacre after the American defeat at Frenchtown—the mounted men galloped toward the enemy. The right wing, led by Richard M. Johnson’s brother James, burst through the British lines and then dismounted and caught the British in a crossfire, forcing them to surrender, although Procter managed to escape to the east with around 200 men. “It is really a novel thing,” said an American officer, “that raw militia stuck upon horses, with muskets in their hands instead of sabres, should be able to pierce British lines with such complete effect.”
