Siege of Fort Stephenson remembered in 1855 sketch
The Fremont Journal recalls the August 2 1853 siege of Fort Stephenson with a Detroit Monthly Miscellany sketch. Major Croghan defended with 160 regulars using a single six pounder, repelling Proctor’s 500 to 800 British and Indian force. Casualties and losses on both sides are noted, with respect to leadership and bravery.

Refreshments and Soda at Buckland & Co in hot weather
A reader urges cooling relief with soda at S Buckland & Co. An extract from a Bellevue letter recounts a tragic accident at Mr. Chapman's distillery where a 12 year old girl died after falling into a hot trough of still slop. The note criticizes liquor industry risks and calls for safer practices ahead of the Pt. Croghan Fremont celebration, which later failed to attract attention.
