The express returned. We moved on and encamped some distance below theprophet's village. Here another express came from the White Beaver, threatening to pursue us and drive us back, if we did not returnpeaceably. This message roused the spirit of my band, and all weredetermined to remain with me and contest the grou...nd with the war chief, should he come and attempt to drive us. We therefore directed theexpress to say to the war chief "if he wished to fight us he might comeon. " We were determined never to be driven, and equally so, not to makethe first attack, our object being to act only on the defensive. This weconceived to be our right.
