It was really cold that day, but we all had a good time!
The reenactment is not really very accurate toward the battle of Mississinewa itself because they have to use what volunteers show up for the weekend. My son would love to do something like this. He wants to be an Indian since he is a Native American through his father. His ancestor was an Indian Chief.
What really happened at Mississinewa is Campbell's force surprised and attacked the first of four Indian villages on the Mississinewa River. Eight Indians and one African-American are killed. Forty-two Indians, including 34 women and children, are captured. Two American solders lose their lives.
We are a cottage school in rural Indiana. This is a blog about our adventures! (This picture is where Gene Stratton Porter wrote her book, "A Girl of the Limberlost." It is one of our favorite field trip destinations!)
