On the afternoon of the day this information was received, Captain Campbell and one of his men, thinking to supplement his company’s rations by killing a deer or two, left the camp and traveled more than a mile back into the timbered river valley. There a large party of Indians hiding in a cane brake attacked them, killing the soldier. Two Indians close at hand rushed the captain, intending to take him a prisoner. He killed one, the other, a powerful man, throwing him to the ground rolled upon him. Each looked into the other’s face and recognition was mutual. It was Logan. He muttered: “Throw Indian off and run to camp.” This he did, and was so closely pursued by the chief, who kept even with but apparently could not overtake him, that the other Indians dared not fire. General Lewis expecting every day to be joined by Governor Dunmore had neglected to fortify his camp near the junction of the Ohio and Kanawha rivers. There the Indians, superior numerically, cornered his detachment and cut off retreat. The morning following Captain Campbell’s escape, while the camp was being broken up to join Dunmore’s forces, the Indians in great numbers, began the attack with a well directed fire, howling and screeching as only wild men can; and for several hours had the best of the conflict. They were commanded by Chief Cornstalk, who moving back and forth along their line when it began to waver, could be heard above the din of conflict, calling out in Indian tongue: “Be strong! Be strong!” The battle continued throughout the day and by evening it was evident the whites were victorious. At dark the Indians withdrew, and during the night crossed the Ohio. Of the colonists, ten officers, including two colonels and five captains and more than a hundred private soldiers were killed. Of the Jackson River Company, seven were killed and eleven were wounded. Among the wounded was Captain Campbell, who with the other wounded were left behind at the camp, now strongly entrenched and well guarded, while the General with most of his men marched up the river to join Lord Dunmore. Opposite the mouth of the Hocking River they ferried the Ohio in the Governor’s boats and marched rapidly northward expecting to join Dunmore who had entrenched about five miles east of Shauane-Town, giving the camp the name of Fort Charlotte. Learning of General Lewis’ approach, he rode out and met him several miles from his fort, having as his escort several officers and Indian chiefs, two of whom had been in the Point Pleasant battle. When they met he peremptorily ordered Lewis to return to Virginia. This order the General reluctantly obeyed; his men grumbling and threatening, even charging that the Governor had been cognizant of the contemplated attack upon them, perhaps had instigated it; and was now showing his disappointment because they had defeated the Indians.
