Biographical History
British captain of the Royal American Regiment commanding Fort Michilimackinac when it was attacked and taken by the Ojibwa Indians, June 2, 1763.
Most of the captured, including Etherington, were given up to the northern Ottawa and taken by them to L'Arbe Croche (now Cross Village, Mich.). Charles Langlade, the nephew of the Ottawa chief, La Fourche, remained at the fort and assumed command. He was instrumental in saving the lives of the English captives and securing the neutrality of the northern Ottawa in the general uprising led by Pontiac against the British. Etherington and his fellow prisoners were afterwards ransomed by Lt. James Gorrell, commander of the British garrison at Green Bay.
