Following the defeat at Wabash, in 1792 the Washington administration created a new US Army to replace the one that had been destroyed. The man chosen to lead it was the famous Major-General “Mad” Anthony Wayne. Having trained his new force, Wayne set out in 1793 to subdue the Ohio Indians. Wayne faced many of the same problems as St Clair including the logistical and intelligence problems of campaigning in the wilderness, not to mention the formidable Ohio Indians. Wayne faced additional problems including the likelihood that he would have to fight both British and Spanish forces, not to mention an American army led by the celebrated commander George Roger Clark. He also faced an insurrection in western Pennsylvania, “Whiskey Rebellion”, and a conspiracy led by many of his officers and contractors. Despite all these difficulties, Wayne managed to defeat the Ohio Indians at the battle of Fallen Timbers. This was a decisive defeat that led directly to the Treaty of Greeneville the following year which ended 20 years of conflict between the Americans and the Ohio Indians.

After the formidable Ohio Indians destroyed the US Army at Wabash in 1791, the Washington administration created a new US Army to defeat them. The famous Revolutionary War commander Major-General “Mad” Anthony Wayne organized and trained the new army, and then led it into the Ohio wilderness in 1794. To defeat the Indians, he had to overcome not just the logistical and intelligence problems that had doomed his predecessor's 1791 campaign, but also a conspiracy of officers and contractors led by his principal subordinate, and threatened opposition by British and Spanish forces. On August 20, 1794, Wayne defeated the Indians at Fallen Timbers. His decisive victory led to the 1795 Treaty of Greeneville, which ended 20 years of conflict between the Americans and the Ohio Indians, and opened to American settlement the states of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan and Wisconsin.

Examines the events leading to the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794 which ended Indian and British control of the Ohio Valley.

Excerpt from From Greene Ville to Fallen Timbers: A Journal of the Wayne Campaign; July 28-September 14, 1794The strength of the legion was considerably augmented by the arrival at Greene Ville of the Kentucky Volunteers under Major Gen. Charles Scott. Shortly thereafter, on July 28, 1794, the combined forces under Wayne headed northward. Marches averaged between ten and a dozen miles a day over a varied terrain of woods, prairies, thickets, and swamps. The movement of the army was a difficult process, and was further complicated by the necessity of surveying and blazing its own way over relatively uncharted stretches of frontier wilderness.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
