The book "A Narrative of the Sufferings and Defeats of the Northwestern Army under General Winchester: The Execution of the Prisoners; Sixteen Months' Imprisonment of the Author and Others by the Indians and British" was written by the military William Atherton. In this detailed book, the author recounts the ordeals he and others under General Winchester's command endured through the skirmishes and events that followed in February 1813. The book reproduces a realistic description of the events that occurred during the mass incarceration of the author and others in the Northwest Territories, where they were held captive along with Indian tribes and the British military for sixteen long months. The authenticity and drama of the events make this book a unique testimony of the tragedy of the war and the worsening of relations between the participants of these events.
