Indian Alarm and Fort Harrison Relief in White River Forks
In the White River forks region near Kinderhook and Colemans Fort, settlers recount a night alarm when Joshua Reeves and a companion avoided pursuit after hearing an unseen group. They later learned the should-be attackers were likely Fort Knox deserters, not Indians. The community prepared land entries and hoped for peace while Fort Harrison faced siege, sending volunteers to protect Vincennes and return home after sixteen days.
