Brigadier General Leonard Covington A dragoon officer, Covington showed remarkable ability and determination. He started the war as a Colonel and led the dragoon elements of Wilkinson's seizure of Mobile from the Spanish. He was soon called north and placed in command of the 3rd brigade of the Northern Army as a Brigadier General in August of 1813. Sadly he was killed at Crysler's Farm, and like Pike, left an important hole in the command structure of the US Army .
