When Rolph suggested the need for a military leader, Mackenzie asked Colonel Anthony Van Egmond*, an ardent foe of the Compact and a man of extensive military background who lived in the Huron Tract, to take command of the rebel forces.
Van Egmond, reaching Montgomery’s Tavern only a few hours before because of the change of date, had warned that the position was hopeless, but Mackenzie, highly agitated, had “put a pistol to his head” and ordered him to carry out what was a hopeless defence.
By February 1840 Mackenzie was so depressed that he wrote a friend of being “entombed alive.” He memorialized the grand jury of Monroe County, the governor of New York, the attorney general, and the secretary of state, even the president himself.
