Historic Waynesborough Speaker Series presents Rick Schoenfield

The Battle of the Wabash
On November 3, 1791, the army of the new American republic congregated along the Wabash River in Ohio to prepare an attack on Native American strongholds. By the end of the next day, the army would suffer what was to be the worst defeat in U.S. history by Indigenous people.
Sometimes called The Battle with No Name, this bloody event would trigger the first-ever Congressional investigation and halt U.S. westward expansion for the next four years.
Join author Rick M. Schoenfield at 7 p.m. Tuesday, April 1, at Historic Waynesborough to find out more about what this momentous clash meant to the future of both the new republic and the Indigenous people in the Northwest Territory, where General Anthony Wayne would soon be called to fight.
Schoenfield will sign copies of his book, The Soldiers Fell Like Autumn Leaves.
Admission is $15 online or at the door. Light refreshments will be served.
