Might take a look at how many Hoosiers know what it was about. Kentucky militiamen had a habit of moving up North even in those days.

There were only 100 families living in Detroit at that time. We have an old chest of drawers one of the family members living there built "way back when". It's got parts cut out of a cherry tree that must have been 20 feet WIDE.

History remembers and immortalizes the revolution and civil war but some of the bloodiest longest lasting fighting took place out of sight In Michigan and all around the great lakes. There are few monuments aside from the place names left behind. There must be thousands upon thousands of bodies that were buried in unmarked graves or left to nature in the forests of this region.
