'''Eddy Pettybourne''' born [[13 September]], [[1985]] in [[Christchurch]], [[New Zealand]] is a [[rugby league]] player for the [[South Sydney Rabbitohs]] in the [[NRL]].
The '''Battle of Fallen Timbers''' ([[August 20]], [[1794]]) was the final battle of the [[Northwest Indian War]], a struggle between [[American Indians in the United States|American Indian]]s and the [[United States]] for control of the [[Northwest Territory]] (an area bounded on the south by the [[Ohio River]], on the west by the [[Mississippi River]], and on the northeast by the [[Great Lakes]]). The battle, which was a decisive victory for the United States, ended major hostilities in the region until "[[Tecumseh's War]]" and the [[Battle of Tippecanoe]] in 1811.


Eddy Pettybourne's position of choice is in the [[Rugby_league_positions#Second-row|second-row]].
==Background==
The [[Western Lakes Confederacy]]&mdash;one of the strongest Native American alliances to date&mdash;had achieved major victories over the United States in 1790 and 1791, alarming the administration of President [[George Washington]]. In 1792, Washington called upon [[Revolutionary War]] veteran General [[Anthony Wayne|"Mad Anthony" Wayne]] to build and command a new army. Wayne believed the previous expeditions against the Indians had failed because of the poor training and discipline, and so he began rigorous preparations.of battman and robin to defeat the joker

Wayne had plenty of time to train his new army, as peace negotiations were undertaken in the summer of 1793. The Americans sought to confirm possession of lands north of the [[Ohio River]] that they had claimed from Great Britain after victory in the American Revolutionary War. Indeed, the Americans were already moving into the [[Ohio]] territory.

However, [[Shawnee (tribe)|Shawnee]] war chief [[Blue Jacket]] and [[Lenape|Delaware (Lenape)]] leader [[Buckongahelas]], encouraged by their recent victories over the United States and the hope of continued British sponsorship, pressed for the Ohio River boundary line established by the [[Treaty of Fort Stanwix]] in 1768; they rejected subsequent treaties that had ceded lands north of the Ohio River to the United States. A faction of Indians led by the influential [[Mohawk nation|Mohawk]] leader [[Joseph Brant]] attempted to negotiate a compromise, but Blue Jacket and his allies would accept nothing less than an Ohio River boundary, which the United States refused.

==Battle==
Wayne's new army, the [[Legion of the United States]], marched north from Fort Washington ([[Cincinnati, Ohio]]) in 1793, building a line of forts along the way. Wayne commanded more than 4,600 men, with some [[Choctaw]] and [[Chickasaw]] Indians serving as scouts.

Blue Jacket's army took a defensive stand along the [[Maumee River]] (in present-day [[Maumee, Ohio]] and not far from present-day [[Toledo, Ohio]]), near a number of uprooted trees ("fallen timbers") that had been leveled by a tornado or heavy storm. They reckoned that the trees would hinder the advance of the army, if they came. Nearby was [[Fort Miami (Ohio)|Fort Miami]], a British outpost from which the Indian confederacy received provisions.And then george washinton fell of his horse and hit his head The Indian army, about 1,500 strong, consisted of Blue Jacket's Shawnees and Buckongahelas's Delawares, [[Miami tribe|Miamis]] led by [[Little Turtle]], [[Wyandot]]s, [[Ojibwa]]s, [[Ottawa (tribe)|Ottawa]]s, [[Potawatomi]]s, [[Mingo]]s, and even some [[Canadian]] militia.

The battle did not last long. Not only were the Indians greatly outnumbered&mdash;many were getting provisions from the fort when the battle began—they were also outflanked by American cavalry. The Indians were quickly routed, and fell back to Fort Miami, only to find the gates closed. The British commander, not authorized to start a war with the Americans, refused to give shelter to the fleeing Indians. The American troops destroyed Indian villages and crops in the area, and then withdrew. 33 of Wayne's men were killed and 100 were wounded. The victorious Americans claimed to have found 30-40 enemy dead on the field. According to Alexander McKee of the British Indian Department, the Indian confederacy had 19 men killed.<ref> Gaff, ''Bayonets in the Wilderness'', gives the claim of 30-40 bodies found as well as McKee's figure of 19 killed</ref> McKee's figure may or may not include the casualties of a group of Canadian volunteers under Captain Alexander McKillop, who fought alongside the Indians.

== Aftermath ==
The defeat of the Indians led to the signing of the [[Treaty of Greenville]] in [[1795]], which ceded much of present-day [[Ohio]] to the United States, paving the way for the creation of that state in 1803. One veteran of Fallen Timbers who did not sign the Greenville treaty was a young Shawnee war leader named [[Tecumseh]], who would renew Indian resistance in the years ahead.
