Description
The Battle of Wabash 1791: St Clair's Defeat In November 1791, Major General Arthur St. Clair led an American army into what is now Ohio, marking the first significant US military operation in the Northwest Indian War (1785-1795). The campaign culminated in a disastrous defeat at the Battle of Wabash, also known as St. Clair's Defeat. This highly illustrated book provides a detailed account of the battle and its aftermath, shedding light on one of the most significant events in American military history. On 4 November 1791, an Indian army destroyed a force that was larger, encamped on high ground, supported by artillery, and led by many of the best American officers of the Revolutionary War. The Battle of Wabash 1791: St Clair's Defeat is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of the US military during this period.
