4 nov 1791 año - St. Clair's Defeat

Descripción:

A battle fought in the Northwest Indian War between 1000 US soldiers and workers led by Major General Arthur St. Clair and 1100 Western Confederate warriors led by Little Turtle. The warriors ambushed the Americans, who were badly trained and not ready to fight in such conditions. The warriors thoroughly defeated the Americans, suffering only a few dozen casualties, while killing, wounding, or capturing almost all of St. Clair's men. Major General Richard Butler was one of the men killed in the engagement. It has been described as one of the US military's greatest defeats and one of the largest victories by Native Americans over a white country. However, the success would not last, as the Confederacy would surrender after their defeat at the Battle of Fallen Timbers.

Casualties:
632 US soldiers killed or captured
