<P> In late August 1794, Little Turtle and his Shawnee ally, Weyapiersenwah (Blue Jacket), faced a new U.S. Army, including a core of nearly 5,000 professionals trained and led by General "Mad" Anthony Wayne . Wayne had spent the better part of two years turning his soldiers into professionals . </P> <P> Wayne's new army, the Legion of the United States, marched north from Fort Washington in Cincinnati in 1793, building a line of forts along the way . Wayne commanded about 2,000 men, with Choctaw and Chickasaw men serving as his scouts . </P> <P> Blue Jacket took a defensive position along the Maumee River, not far from present - day Toledo, Ohio, where a stand of trees (the "fallen timbers") had been blown down by a recent storm . They thought the trees would slow the advance of Wayne's Legion . Fort Miami, a nearby British outpost on American soil, had supplied the Native American confederacy with provisions . The Native American forces, numbering about 1,500, were composed of Blue Jacket's Shawnees, Buckongahelas's Delawares, Miamis led by Little Turtle, Wyandots led by Roundhead (Wyandot), Ojibwas, Ottawas led by Turkey Foot, Potawatomis, Mingos, and a British company of Canadian militiamen under Captain Alexander McKillop . </P> <P> The battle ended fairly quickly . Wayne's soldiers closed and pressed the attack with a bayonet charge . His cavalry outflanked Blue Jacket's warriors, who were easily routed . The Indian warriors fled towards Fort Miami, but were surprised to find the gates closed against them . Major William Campbell, the British commander of the fort, refused to assist them, unwilling to start a war with the United States . Wayne's army had won a decisive victory . The soldiers spent several days destroying the nearby Native American villages and crops, then retreated . Wayne's army had lost 33 men and had about 100 wounded . They reported that they had found 30 - 40 dead warriors . Alexander McKee of the British Indian Department reported that the Indian confederacy lost 19 warriors killed, including Chief Turkey Foot of the Ottawa. 6 white men fighting on the Native American side were also killed and Chiefs Egushaway and Little Otter of the Ottawa were wounded . </P>
