Historical Sketches of Kentucky by Lewis Collins, Maysville, KY. and J. A.
& U. P. James, Cincinnati, 1847. Reprinted 1968. Fayette County.

     One of the most noted citizens of Fayette, is Gen. LESLIE COMBS.  He
is a lawyer of high repute in his profession; and during the late war with
Great Britain, was a brave and gallant soldier under Harrison.  While out
on the north-western frontier, he was highly distinguished as a brave,
vigilant, and efficient officer.  He was attached to the force under
General Green Clay, which went to the relief of Fort Meigs in May, 1813. 
He volunteered at the head of five men, in an open canoe, to carry to
Harrison the intelligence of Clay's approach, through swarms of hostile
savages, who occupied every known avenue to the beleaguered men.  He took
part with distinguished courage, in the disastrous attack made upon the
Brittish batteries by Colonel Dudley, and was severely wounded, and taken
prisoner, in that affair.  He has repeatedly represented the county of
Fayette in the legislature of Kentucky, and always with ability.  At the
session of 1846-7, he was chosen speaker of the house of representatives,
and presided over that body, during its sittings, with dignity and tact.
