This 273-page, 12.5" x 20.5" (31.75 x 52.07 cm) report documents the 1791 defeat of Major General Arthur St. Clair by a confederacy of Wyandot, Shawnee, Miami, and Delaware Indians led by Little Turtle and Blue Jacket. Digitized here are the first 58 pages, which include St. Clair's narrative of the battle, in which he defends his actions and reputation. St. Clair (1736-ca. 1818) led a group of regular soldiers and militia men from Fort Washington (present-day Cincinnati) in October 1791 to pacify the American Indian groups that were attacking American settlements. On November 4, 1791, the American Indians attacked St. Clair's army near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana. The untrained, undisciplined militia troops fled in panic, disrupting the regular soldiers' attempts to form a defensive line. Little Turtle's and Blue Jacket's fighters targeted St. Clair's officers, adding to the confusion. St. Clair's horses were shot, but he continued to fight on foot, which was difficult because he suffered from gout. More than 600 men, or half of St. Clair's army, were killed in the four-hour battle and another 238 were wounded. St. Clair managed to lead a retreat from the encampment, but left most of the cannons, muskets, and equipment behind. Returning to Fort Washington, St. Clair faced criticism for his inability to lead his troops during the battle. Although a committee of the House of Representatives later cleared St. Clair of any wrongdoing in the incident, he voluntarily resigned his army commission.
