Lieutenant Riggs And His Rangers

Source

From the book "The battle of Campbell's Island":

[Lieutenant Jonathan] Riggs shows the soldier and true hero, in closing his report he says, "I beg also to recommend my brave companions to your remembrance for I candidly confess that until that day I never knew the extent of the bravery of man." Black Hawk in his books says of Riggs: "I had a good opinion of this War Chief — he managed so much better than the others. It would give me pleasure to shake him by the hand."

The Battle of the Rock Island Rapids -- later called the Battle of Campbell's Island -- took place on July 19, 1814 (alternate date, July 21st)
