The camp was entered, and pillaged. Some two hundred and fifty women, among them the general's dashing daughter, had come with the army; and these suffered terribly. After three hours' battle, the general ordered a final charge, to open a way. Pressing behind the bayonets, the weary troops commenced a retreat of twenty-nine miles to Fort Jefferson. The general, on a poor pack-horse, insisted on bringing up the rear. Out of his less than fourteen hundred soldiers, thirty-eight officers and six hundred men were killed or missing; twenty-one officers and two hundred and forty-two men were wounded. Fifty of the women had died. It was as bad as the defeat of General Braddock's army, in 1755. For a year and a half the field was covered with bleaching bones. Little Turtle, the Missisauga chief and Simon Girty the white savage had directed the attack. After a pursuit of four miles, seeing that the soldiers were on the run and throwing away guns, knapsacks, and all, they called the chase off. It had been victory enough. They had captured seven pieces of cannon, two hundred cattle, many horses; they returned to the villages with one hundred and twenty scalps strung on one pole, and with three pack-horses piled high with kegs of liquor. Their own loss was stated to be fifty-six. Surely this was a great triumph for Commander-in-Chief Little Turtle. CHAPTER XI LITTLE TURTLE FEARS THE BIG WIND (1792-1812) AND IT BLOWS HIM INTO PEACE President Washington was almost beside himself when he got the frank report from General Saint Clair. Another American army--as good a selection as had opposed the British themselves in many a battle of the Revolution--had been fairly outwitted and fairly defeated, by Indians. General Anthony Wayne was appointed to try next. "Mad Anthony," soldiers and citizens had styled him, because of his head-long valor in the Revolution. He was a good man for the job, if he did not act too fast and get ambushed. He took his time. The army of the United States was reorganized into the Legion of the United States. He was placed in command. There were four Sub-legions, or corps, each composed of artillery, dragoons, infantry and riflemen. The enlisted men wore round caps like helmets. The badge of the First Sub-legion was white binding, with short plumes of white wool and black horse-hair. The badge of the Second Sub-legion was red binding, with short plumes of red wool and white horse-hair. The badge of the Third Sub-legion was yellow binding, with yellow wool and black horse-hair. The badge of the Fourth Sub-legion was green binding, with green wool and white horse-hair. "Another defeat will be ruinous to the reputation of the United States," had said President Washington. With this in mind, General Wayne declared for drilling his troops hard, at Legionville, below Pittsburg. Infantry, artillery and cavalry were kept busy at target practice, broad-sword practice, and battle formations.
