The historical marker is on the grounds of the River Raisin National Battlefield in Monroe MI.

Historical Date: 10/01/1813 Historical Name: River Raisin Battle Description: TEXT ON THE HISTORICAL MARKER After the Battle In the words of Laurent Durocher, "after the defeat of Winchester, many of the inhabitants fled with their families to the frontier of Ohio. Others went to Detroit. The British made several attempts to persuade the Indians to destroy what was left of the settlement at the River Raisin, but the Potawatomies protested and declared they....had given the land to the first settlers, and had been compensated therefore....and would not suffer them to be disturbed in their habitations." In October of 1813, the inhabitants of Michigan Territory returned the favor by interceding on behalf of those Native-Americans who wished to negotiate an armistice with the American military authorities in Detroit, so they could return to their villages and live in peace with their neighbors.
