Lished in 1816, by a private soldier, who fought in this battle, and who could have had no interested motives for his publication : "General Harrison, " he says, "received a shot through the rim of his hat. In the heat of the action his voice was frequently heard, and easily distinguished, giving his orders in the same Cahii, cool, and collected manner, with which we had been used to receive them on drill or pa- rade. The confidence of the troops in the General was unlimited. " The same writer,... in speaking of Harrison's kindness to the soldiers, and his influence over them, re- marks: — "He appeared not disposed to detain any man against his inclination ; being endowed by nature with a heart as humane as brave, in his frequent addresses to the militia, his eloquence was formed to persuade ; appeals were made to reason as well as feeling, and never were they made in vain. " An incident that occurred at this time, is worth record- ing. The night before the battle, a negro man belonging to the camp, who had been missing, was arrested near the Governor's marquee, under very suspicious circumstances.
