--Description of Fort Recovery
Unknown author, ca. 1793
In late 1791, Miami Indians defeated General Arthur St. Clair's forces at
this site along the Wabash River. Nearly three-quarters of St. Clair's men were killed or
wounded in the Indian attack. In late 1793, General Anthony Wayne sent a force to build a
four-blockhouse post named Recovery at the site of St. Clair's defeat. It was completed in
March of 1794 and on June 30 of that year General Wayne's army defeated a huge Indian
force. This set the stage for Wayne's final triumph at Fallen Timbers in August of 1794.
Today Fort Recovery State Memorial offers visitors a glimpse of the 1790's, featuring
two reconstructed blockhouses with connecting stockade, a monument, and a museum.
