Notes
From - Pioneer Sketches of Long Point Settlement by E. A. Owen 1898
During the War of 1812 General Brock held a meeting at the house of William Culver, for the purpose of recruiting volunteers for his Detroit expedition. During McArthur's raid the swarthy Kentuckians painted the Culver tavern a howling scarlet. They filled themselves full of pioneer "budge," and turned everything inside out. After committing all the "deviltry" they could think of, they "borrowed" Mrs. Culver's favorite New Jersey horse, and proceeded on their home-pillaging tour.
