Massacre of the American prisoners, at French-town, on the River Raisin, by the savages under the command of the British Genl. Proctor, January 23d., 1813.
Gruesome depiction of the attack on the wounded American prisoners by their Native American captors. In the foreground, a group of Native American men scalp and hack at bloody American soldiers. Details in the print imply British responsibility for the incident: the blade of a scalping knife is labeled with the British royal cypher “GR,” and an empty British camp is seen in the background.
