Description

“This sword was owned and carried by Jean Baptiste Faribault. In 1812 he used it to defend himself against the Americans at Prairie du Chien (Ft. Crawford), Wisconsin. The troopers beat a retreat and a squad of English troopers under Lieutenant Duncan Graham came back and shot away with a swivel gun the roof of his house. To save his family he had to surrender to the English.”

This note describing the use of the cane during the War of 1812 was transcribed by Faribault’s great-granddaughter Zola Smith.
