WAR OF 1812
From Wikipedia:
“With the impending onset of hostilities, Harrison sought militaryassistance from neighboring Kentucky. After being appointed brigadier
general of the Kentucky militia on August 22, Harrison went to attain the
force in order to defend the Indiana territorial government at Vincennes.
Harrison had resigned his military commission in December 1811, but with the
help of Kentucky governor Charles Scott, he was able to recruit Kentucky
citizens to help defend Indiana; citizens in Ohio and Indiana had heard of
the lack of camp provisions and chose not to be burdened by such hardships.
It is believed Harrison sought military command due to losing popularity in
the territory, particularly for supporting slavery in the territory.” PERRY COUNTY – VETERANS
