November 4, 1791 a party of perhaps 1,000 Miami, Shawnee, Potawatomi, and Delaware warriors surprise attacked and routed at least 1,000 soldiers on the Wabash River near Fort Recovery Ohio. Only 12 Americans escaped unharmed. Little Turtle of the Miami and Blue Jacket of the Shawnee fought against General St. Clair’s American soldiers and Kentucky militia. [about half of Custer’s 700 soldiers were casualties]
