| 520 | _a"Crawford's Defeat: A Tale of the Frontier in 1812" prepared by the Staff of the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County is a historical account published in the mid-20th century. The book recounts an anecdote from the early 1800s, a time marked by the tensions of the War of 1812 and the accompanying fears of Indian raids on settlements in the Midwest. It delves into themes of bravery, community, and the interplay of humor amid the serious backdrop of frontier life during a time of conflict. The narrative follows Archibald Crawford, a man who boasts of his courage in the face of Indian attacks. One evening, after engaging in a spirited logrolling event with friends, Crawford is startled by two individuals posing as Indians, triggering a panic throughout the village of Mount Vernon. This incident leads to a townwide alarm as residents rush to the garrison for safety. However, the truth is soon revealed that Crawford was the target of a prank devised by his friends who sought to test his bravado. Ultimately, the joke serves to illustrate the blend of fear and humor in pioneer life, and the episode is affectionately remembered as "Crawford's Defeat" by the villagers.
