EDITORS COMMENTS
Wayne Defeats Indians: A Pivotal Moment in American History (August 20, 1794) This powerful and evocative print captures the decisive moment of the Battle of Fallen Timbers, a pivotal engagement in the Northwest Indian War of the late 18th century. The battle, which took place on August 20, 1794, near the Maumee River in present-day Ohio, marked the end of the confederacy of Native American tribes in the region and led to significant American expansion westward. At the center of the image stands General "Mad" Anthony Wayne, a veteran of the American Revolutionary War, who had been sent by President George Washington to put down the Native American uprising. Wayne, dressed in his military uniform, raises his sword in triumph as he surveys the battlefield, now littered with the fallen timbers that gave the battle its name. The Native American warriors, depicted in the background, are shown in various stages of retreat or surrender. The Battle of Fallen Timbers was a turning point in the history of the United States, marking the end of the Native American resistance in the Northwest and paving the way for American expansion into the region. This print, with its dramatic composition and historical significance, is a testament to the courage and determination of both the American forces and the Native American warriors who fought in this important conflict.
