Soldier Spread-eagle and the Maumee campaign legend
An elderly pioneer recounts Spread-eagle Joseph Walgamolt, a tall scout famed for a night on the front picket before Wayne’s Maumee defense. The tale blends myth and valor as he volunteers for danger, kills a wolf on patrol, helps win a battle, and earns a wolf-skin cap with a silver spread eagle by General Wayne.
