The difficulties of this business cannot be adequately exhibited in a cursory statement. The letters of the commander-in-chief, to the war department, at this period, were constantly filled with details on this subject. On the 22nd of October, he thus addressed the government: "I am not able to fix any period for the advance of the troops to Detroit. It is pretty evident that it cannot be done on proper principles, until the frost shall become so severe as to enable us to use the rivers and the... margin of the lake for the transportation of the baggage on the ice. To get supplies forward, through a swampy wilderness of nearly 200 miles in wagons or on packhorses, which are to carry their own provisions, is absolutely impossible. "The object, however, can be accomplished by using the margin of the lake as above mentioned, if the troops are provided with warm clothing, and the winter is such as it commonly is in this climate. — No species of supplies are calculated on being found in the Michigan territory.
