The Battle of Maguaga-- Part 1: William Whistler Distinguished Self Here

From Wikipedia.

I have been writing about William Whistler who is considered a hero at this battle.

Also known as the Battle of Manguaygon and the Battle of Oakwoods was fought August 9, 1812 near Detroit.

It pitted British regulars, Canadian militia and Tecumseh's Indian warriors against a larger American force near the Wyandot Indian village of Maguaga (present-day Trenton, Michigan).

Brigadier General William Hull had moved his American Army to Detroit to use it as a base for his planned invasion of British Upper Canada.  However, he soon became too worried and failed to attack the British at Fort Amherstburg after he learned about the fall of Fort Mackinac.  He also was very worried (and scared) of the Indians and what they might do to his army.

He retreated back to American territory.
