The War of 1812
Miller says of his command: "From their conduct on that occasion I never saw better troops of the description."
Miller sent a spy into Brownstown and understood from Captain Maxwell that the enemy had disappeared. He then returned to the battle field to collect his dead and wounded and encamped there for the night. Next day Miller got the wounded into boats, and thinking that the communication with Brush on the Raisin had been opened, and failing to get sufficient supplies of provisions for his men, although he had sent Captain Snelling to Hull for that purpose, he took up his line of march on the llth for Detroit, reaching there next day.
General Brock, the British commander, on the 12th or 13th of August arrived at Maiden with 40 regulars and 260 militia.
