At the Glaize, the confluence of the Maumee and Auglaize rivers named by early French explorers, three members of the British Indian Office—Alexander McKee, Matthew Elliott, and James Girty—built a small two-cabin stockade during the late 1770s, and in 1780 British Captain Henry Bird passed through on his way to raid Kentucky settlements. Continuing conflicts drew Native Americans into the area, and Shawnee leader Captain Johnny established his village there in 1789, soon joined by many others so that more than 1,000 Native Americans were estimated to live there. French Canadian and British traders, including George Ironside with his two-story double pen log trading post, formed a peaceful multi-cultural community with Native Americans. Early United States attempts to defeat the growing Indian Confederation ended in disaster when the armies of General Josiah Harmar in 1790 and General Arthur St. Clair in 1791 were defeated, and captives including John Brickell and Oliver Spencer lived at the Glaize with their captors until their freedom was negotiated. General "Mad" Anthony Wayne arrived at the confluence on August 8, 1794, calling it "the grand emporium of the hostile Indians of the west," and found extensive fields of maize, with beans and squash planted among the corn. Some fields were destroyed while some were saved to feed troops and mounts, and after Wayne's victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers on August 20, 1794, he ordered all remaining crops and Indian structures destroyed for 50 miles on either side of the Maumee River, forcing Native Americans to rely on British aid through the winter. In the summer of 1795, General Wayne and the Indians signed the Treaty of Greeneville.
