Beginning on the front page and taking over half of page 3 are various fine & detailed accounts of the siege of Fort Meigs.
A British force under Brigadier-General Henry Procter failed to capture Fort Meigs, but they did win a victory over an American relief force. Work on building Fort Meigs began after the American defeat at Frenchtown in January of 1813, ending any chance of a winter campaign recapturing Detroit.
