Fallen Timbers battle marks key westward expansion milestone
The August 20 1794 battle near the Maumee River under General Anthony Wayne, nicknamed Mad Anthony, crushed Indian forces led by Little Turtle and paved the path to the Treaty of Greenville. Wayne reorganized the Legion of the United States, built Fort Defiance, and forced removal of tribes from Ohio, opening the region to settlement and trade.
