A definitive biograpliy of t!iis great American is in existence and his record is readily traced. However, it is primarily as one of the founders of Indiana and as the protector of Fort ilayne that lie interests us. .. ehave sought to trace in simple narrative iiis public and military career through the stirring events whicli culminated in the abandonment of the siege of Fort r. ayne in 1312. In t!ie years that followed he made substantial contributions and was indeed a maker of history, ie have felt, however, that the purpose of this subject is best served by terminating the narrative with the end of Harrison slocal services in I ndiana.
