On June 30 and July 1, 1794, 200 well-trained
soldiers, under the command of Captain Alexander
Gibson, successfully defended this fort against the
frontal, relentless attack of 2,500 Indians led by
Little Turtle, Blue Jacket, and obvious "Redcoats."
This battle broke the back of Indian resistance and
led the way to the signing of the Treaty of Greeneville
on August 3, 1795.
