June 30, 1794 – Native American forces under Blue Jacket attack Fort Recovery.  A large gathering of the Western Confederacy of Native American tribes departed their encampments on the Auglaize River in NW Ohio. Acting on the belief that the British could soon be at war with the United States, Blue Jacket took the opportunity to secure the support of British agents and traders in the region. The United States suffered heavy losses, but maintained control of the fort. The battle exposed a division in the Western Confederacy's military strategy at a time when they seemed to hold the advantage, and the United States pressed farther into the Northwest Territory. Didja know? Fort Recovery was built on the site of St. Clair's Defeat in 1791 by General "Mad Anthony" Wayne. In late 1793, Wayne led 300 men to the site of St. Clair's defeat and deliberately had Fort Recovery built there. On December 25, they identified the site due to the large amount of unburied remains. Private George Will wrote that to set up camp, the unit had to move bones to make space for their beds.
