Kentucky Soldiers At The Battles Of Frenchtown And The River Raisin Massacre, Christian Wright, Adrian Mandzy
2021 Celebration of Student Scholarship - Poster Presentations
Research on The War of 1812 has been sporadic over the last two hundred years. In spite of the two centuries which have passed, significant gaps in the scholarship remain. Most individuals recognize that Kentucky troops played a major role in the war, but their participation and the number of casualties they suffered remains speculative. American newspaper accounts of the period, written with an eye to sell more copies, may not be accurate as they historically over inflated the number of dead. At the same time, British accounts have a tendency to downplay the numbers of American troops involved for …
