Sir Isaac Brock, Knight of the Most Hon. Order of the Bath,
Provisional Lieutenant-Governor, and Major-General commanding
the Forces in this Province, whose remains are deposited in
the vault beneath. Having expelled the North Western Army of

surrender of Fort Detroit, and the territory of Michigan,

13th of October, 1812, in the forty-third year of his age,

devoted."

happy to say, appeared in good health after his late fatiguing

"But, amongst the assembled warriors and civilians, none
excited a more lively interest than the chiefs of the Indian
nations from the Grand River, whose warlike appearance,
intrepid aspect, picturesque dress and ornaments, and majestic
demeanour, accorded well with the solemn pomp and general
character of a military procession--amongst these, young Brant,
Bears Foot, and Henry, were distingu
