On January 22, 1813, mounted Indians from the British right wing got behind the retreating Americans and set an ambush at Plum Creek. Flanked by mounted Indians, the scattered groups were slaughtered one by one. Of the nearly 400 people in the rout, only 33 reached Harrison's camp; more than 220 were killed, and the rest, including Gen. Winchester, were captured. The British then repositioned their artillery and launched another frontal attack, but the Americans repulsed it again. The Americans burned two barns that had provided cover for the British, and British artillery fire set another barn ablaze. After a third failed attempt to dislodge the Americans, this time in a columns of sections maneuver, Major George Madison, on whom command had devolved, received a recommendation from the captured Gen. Winchester that they surrender. Short of ammunition, Madison reluctantly agreed, and more than 400 men marched out and laid down their arms. The British, anxious to leave before American reinforcements arrived, marched the captured Americans north. Sixty-five wounded men, and 30 Kentuckians who volunteered to stay and care for them, were left at Frenchtown under guard of six soldiers, but those guards left during the night. On the morning of January 23, the Indians returned, began to massacre the wounded soldiers, and took the unarmed protectors prisoner. "Remember the Raisin!" became the battle cry that led the Americans on to victory in the Old Northwest.
