TALES OF THE | OLD FRONTIER ♦ t — : ♦ By ELMO SCOTT WATSON ♦ (tg), 1>23, Western Newspaper Union.) THE VALOR OF YOUNG GEORGE CROGHAN T TE WAS only twenty-one years old ■L* when he performed his deed of valor mid won the Congressional Medal • of Honor. Although be saved the old Northwest for the American ting, just as George Rogers Clurk, his uncle, had done thirty-five years previously, the name of Maj. George Croghan appears In few of our school histories. During the War of 1812 Croghan was in command of Fort Stephrnson. a log stockade on the Sandusky river in 'Hiio which commanded lhe approach to two important bases of supply for Gen. William Henry Harrison’s nrmy. His force consisted of seven ofilcers, all hoys like hiiuself. and Mb Kentucky riflemen. His only artillery was a slxixninder, affectionately called “Old j Betsy" by the soldiers. When the British Invaded Ohio, Harrison ordered Fort Stephenson evacuated. Croghan insi-ied that be could - hold it and Harrison consented to allowing him to try. on August 1, 1813, General Proctor with 300 British regulars and 700 of Te-k-iiniseli's Indians apfieared before the fort, demanded its surrender and declared that lie might not be able to prevent an Indian massacre If he were compelled to storm the walls. Cr> ghan's reply, delivered by a subaltern, was: “When this fort shall be taken, there will be no oue left to massacre |" After pounding away at the fort with artillery for a day and a night, a i boi'ibardineiit w IQa'li made sad havoc | wilh tiie ramshackle idd stockade, Pioctor ordered up a storming party. II The fire of Croghan's Kentucky rlfleI nion tore great gaps In the re<l<’<»ats' t llr.r, but they rushed forward bravely untd they reached the dry moat which; sur.'o»inded the fort. But Croghan was prepar«*l for Jmt sitcli nn attack. "Old Betsy" hurl been I a ounted in a corner blockhouse overi looking the ditch and at this moment | * Basked porthole was uncovered ami | tt-e little slx-fMMinder poured forth a I Mtlierlng fire nt point blank range.
