 The Battles of the River Raisin   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
The local militia on the River Raisin were expecting an Indian attack.  They were shocked when a British officer arrived on August 17 with news of the surrender of Detroit and with orders from General Hull for them to surrender.  After a brief British occupation, the settlement's fortified blockhouse was burned and the British left. 
The River Raisin was liberated on September 27, 1813, when Colonel Richard M. Johnson's Kentucky cavalry, led by men from the River Raisin, rode into the settlement.  Moving on, the Kentuckians quickly pushed the British and Indians deep into Canada and decisively defeated them at the Battle of the Thames on October 5, 1813. 
Although the British and hostile Indians could not return, destruction was so severe that the River Raisin settlement remained destroyed and impoverished for five years after the battles.
