September 4-15, 1812 Siege of Fort Harrison

This battle was fought near where present day Terre Haute, Indiana is situated. Around 50 white soldiers were stationed inside Fort Harrison during early September of 1812, when a force of around 600 Ojibway Soldiers approached Fort Harrison to attempt to capture the unwanted white military fortification. One day before Ojibway Soldiers reached the region where Fort Harrison was located, a group of Miami Anishinabek traitors, snitched on their war plans. They warned white soldiers about the Ojibway Soldiers plans, which were to begin the following day. What followed ruined Ojibway Soldiers plans of capturing this fort. Instead of a quick victory, they had to endure another siege against a white fort. This Siege of Fort Harrison lasted nearly two weeks before Ojibway Soldiers retreated in defeat. American casulaties were 28 killed and wounded. Ojibway casualties were higher.
