"Remember the Raisin" Events Announced

From the Dec. 21, 2012, Michigan Dept. of Natural Resources.

Commemoration is planned for Jan. 19-20, 2013, in Monroe, Michigan.

This will remember two battles that took place 200 years earlier in the War of 1812.  On January 18, 1813, American forces drove the British out of Frenchtown, current Monroe.  And four days later, the British returned with their Indian allies and defeated the Americans. 

A massacre took place, giving rise to the later American battle cry "Remember the Raisin."

Some of the events:
Jan. 19th at 10 AM--  retrace American General James Winchester's march to the battlefield.
