On April 29, 1835, the Detroit Free Press carried an article (top of column three) describing Michigan militia efforts to confront Ohio surveyers as the battle for the southern portion of Michigan heats up. “Col. Hawkins, the Ohio surveyor, and nine armed men were taken prisoner and escorted to Tecumseh!” Another article (column 1) states the Toledo Gazette has made several scurrilous, abusive, and erroneous statements about the efforts of Michigan to impede surveyors of Ohio laying claim to Michigan territory. At any rate the Toledo War seems to be in full swing, at least in the newspapers of the day.
