During the initial attack, 300 American troops were slain, more were wounded and Brigadier General James Winchester was captured. He quickly surrendered his entire army. Col. Henry Procter, fearing a strong counter attack from American reinforcements, retreated north to Brownstone with his own wounded and his American prisoners, leaving the American wounded left behind in the homes of the settlers, guarded / protected by British guards, as agreed to as a condition for the town militia, who had beaten back the British and Indians earlier, to surrender as well. However, the British guards left in the morning, which allowed the Indians to come into town.
The Indians had other ideas of what to do with all these wounded, and the people living here. Not being trained with British military discipline, they proceeded to do what they traditionally did with prisoners, and captured places. "They plundered homes and the wounded for valuables, and then scalped Americans who could not walk. Bodies were tossed into burning houses that the Indians had set aflame. Those able to walk were claimed by the Indians and taken to Detroit where they were ransomed. Over 60 unarmed American wounded were slain. This was later known as the 'Massacre of the River Raisin'."
