Governor Shelby, with military experience and a true conception of the difficulties under which General Harrison was laboring, wisely concluded that the best thing to do was to march his men through from Newport to Portage on horseback. The men would be far better satisfied to keep their animals, for it would provide them an easy. means of returning, but the greatest advantage was the rapidity with which the column could be moved, and in the end this proved of the highest importance.

Eight days of the time had been consumed in drawing the necessary arms, provisions, and equipments, and in reaching Urbana. A block-house had been constructed at this place at the beginning of the war, and stores of all kinds placed here for use of those who were to march from Cincinnati to Detroit. The march from Urbana was begun on the ninth day of September, 1813, reaching, on the tenth, Manary's block-house, three miles north of the present city of Bellefontaine, Logan County. They camped on the tenth at Solomon's Town, near the line of Hardin and Logan counties, at Fort McArthur on the eleventh, three miles north of Kenton, the present county seat of Hardin County; on the twelfth they reached Upper Sandusky, the present county seat of Wyandot County, sixty-three miles north of Columbus. Leaving there at eight o'clock A. M., the army reached Fort Ball on the

thirteenth. This was near the line between Wyandot and Seneca counties. On the fourteenth the column reached Lower Sandusky, now known as Fremont, the county seat of Seneca County. At Seneca, half way on this day's march, ammunition was distributed. On the fifteenth the army arrived at its camp on the Portage River, where it remained until the embarkation for Put-in-Bay on the twenty-first.

Governor Shelby at once reported to General Harrison and announced his readiness with his troops to obey all commands. Some historians have endeavored to show that differences and jealousies existed or arose between General Harrison and Governor Shelby. There was no real foundation for any such statement. These men were too great in mind and too intensely patriotic to harbor any such littleness. They were animated by a common purpose to pursue, defeat, and destroy a common foeand each, with unselfish devotion to country, did all that was possible to help the other. General Harrison would have waived the real and retained a nominal command in favor of General Shelby, but the hero of King's Mountain would accept no such sacrifice, and willingly and gladly, even though entitled to control as Commanderin-Chief of the Kentucky Militia, renounced all such right and took subordinate position to General Harrison.
