Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Meigs 3d. Fallen timbers. August 16, 1794, Gen. Wayne, leaving a suflicient force at Ft. Defiance, moved down the left bank of the river on the 18th a small fortification for the deposit of military stores was erected at Roch de Boeuf, a mile above the present village of Waterville, and named Ft. Deposit. Five miles below this point, on the morning of the 20th, Gen. Wayne's troops encountered the allied Indian forces commanded by the young and intrepid chief, Turkey Foot; the conflict, short, sharp and decisive, terminated in the overwhelming defeat of the Indians. It is known as the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and was one of the most important in its results that had ever been fought with the Indian tribes, for it ended in a final treaty of peace at Greenville, and concluded the persecutions of the pioneer settlers. This was chosen by Turkey Foot as his battle ground, because a hurricane had windrowed the forest trees, making an almost insurmountable obstruction to Wayne's mounted troops and a natural fortification for the Indians. Wayne, however, came upon them like the winds that had laid low the giants of the forest, his soldiers partaking of his own irresistible courage and fighting qualities; Mad Anthony, by reason of this, was afterward known among the various Indian tribes as Che-no-tin - translated, the Whirlwind. Near the base of Presque Isle Hill (an abrupt and narrow point of land, which extends like a promontorv toward the river, and which was also a portion of the battle ground) and a few yards distant from the water, is an immense bowlder, afterward carved by the Indians with representations of turkeys' feet, in memory of their beloved Chieftain who fell there during the conflict. Thus we are indebted to the savages for the only monument to mark the many historic spots in the valley. Lieut. Harrison (afterward commander-in-chief of the Northwestern army) was an aid-de camp to Gen. Wayne in this campaign.

Download or read book Fort Armstrong Classic Reprint written by Mrs. Maria Peck and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2016-12-12 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Fort Armstrong It is a fact worthy of mention that only a short time prior to the events which precipitated the final contest, six thousand dollars paid to the disaffected fragments of the Sacs and Foxes would have effected the substantial results achieved by the war, and quieted all complaints. The Government refused to compromise, and waged a war of extermination during which the flag of truce, held sacred by all the civilized nations of the world, was twice fired upon. The war cost two million dollars. The treaty made by General Scott with the Indians at the con elusion of the war terminated at last the difficulties and also added six million acres west of the Mississippi (afterwards comprised in the State of Iowa) known as the Black Hawk Purchase, to the territory of the United States. Owing to the fact that an epidemic of cholera was raging among General Scott's troops detained at Fort Armstrong, all the deliberations connected with this important treaty were conducted in a tent on the west bank of the river. The ground occupied was the site upon which was afterward built the first house erected in the city of Davenport. Black Hawk and a few of his adherents were held as hostages, and with a view of impressing them with the vastness of the country, the numerical strength and greatness of the people, they were taken to Washington and from there through many of the large cities of the East.

Dana at once asked for a troop of veteran cavalry in addition to the regular provost guard, and the request was granted. He established a line of pickets from Fort Meigs on the left to a point on the right and gave orders to let none enter the city of Washington during the day who could not give a satisfactory account of business at the capitol, while from sunrise to sund'own no one should be permitted to enter or leave the city except in case of sick ness or death. All suspicious persons were to be arrested and sent to the Commanding General for investigation. April 14 two men appeared before the guard on the road leading to Washington from the east. Refusing to give their names they were arrested and placed in the guard tent from whence they were sent to headquarters. This was about one o'clock in the afternoon.
