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.
