Description

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.
