The war on the frontier was a war fought without mercy by both sides. You are exactly correct how Col. Clark finally forced Major Hamilton's surrender. The Indians were not shy when it came to committing atrocities on their enemies and the colonists gave it back to them.
You are exactly correct how Col. Clark finally forced Major Hamilton's surrender. Not real surprising I'm right. I'm originally from the Lawrenceville-Vincennes area. I grew up with the stories about Col Clark and his men.
