On Aug. 20, 1794, General "Mad" Anthony Wayne launched a new professional army formed by Pres. George Washington against a confederation of Native Americans who did not want to be forced out of Ohio. Knowing the army was planning an attack, Chief Blue Jacket chose to make his stand among a landscape of fallen trees that had been toppled by a recent storm. He hoped the tangled mess would benefit his warriors against the mounted militia and artillery units. Today, theFallen Timbers Battlefield is preserved as a National Park Service site.
