Our Name Sake
Colonel George Croghan was 21 years of age when he lead troops through the Battle of Fort Stephenson on August 2, 1813. Croghan had only 160 men with just one piece of artillery, Old Betsy - a cannon, but by shifting its position from place to place he made his enemy believe that his troops were well armed.
The British stormed the fort with 500 Red Coats and 800 Indians. After the battle, the British loss of dead and wounded was about 120, while Colonel Croghan lost only eight men.
We honor our name sake to this day, admiring his courage and leadership.
