Ravine

— August 20, 1794 —

Wayne's advance units of scouts and militia collided with the Native Confederacy's position in the dense forest. In a fierce fight, the U.S. forces were driven back to the main columns of the Legion.

Under the cover provided by the advance units the Americans expanded in a wide front in battle formations. Throughout this process, the Natives used fallen trees and the landscape to exchange gunfire with the Americans.
