September 30, 1813 On September the 29th the American Lake Erie flotilla reached Detroit; and on the following day, Col. Johnson and his mounted regiment arrived. Col. Duncan McArthur, with seven hundred effective men, had already crossed over, driven off a body of Native Americans who were still in the area, and captured the town. General Harrison had also declared the martial law enforced by Proctor at an end, and the civil government of Michigan reestablished after over a year of occupation by British forces.
