Paschal Hickman

Paschal Hickman (c. 1778 – January 23, 1813) was an American military officer who was killed in the Massacre of the River Raisin, an important event in the War of 1812.

[6] In August 1812, shortly after the beginning of the War of 1812, Hickman raised a company for Col. John Allen's 1st Kentucky Rifle Regiment and served as its Captain.

[6] The regiment served in the campaign under Gen. James Winchester against British Gen. Henry Procter and the Shawnee leader Tecumseh.

Fearing the American army under Gen. William Henry Harrison would now move against him, Procter retreated the next day, taking the uninjured prisoners with him and leaving the seriously wounded behind.

[8] "Remember the Raisin" became a rallying cry for American troops and the United States for the remainder of the war.
