The depression in the land before you is the bed of the
original Wabash (Ouabache) River. (In the early
1900's, it was rerouted to its present course just west
of here.) It was one of the main highways of Indian
travel through the region. To the left, a small creek
flowed into the Wabash, creating a triangle of land.
When St. Clair arrived here in 1791, the main body of
the army camped on this triangle , while the Kentucky
Militia camped on the high ground across the river.
