On the night of July 28th, 1794 A.D., the army of Major General Anthony Wayne camped on the rising ground immediately eastward after advancing twelve miles from headquarters at Fort Greene Ville on the expedition against the Indian tribes of the Maumee Valley. The encampment was about six hundred yards square, covering some seventy acres, and was protected by a breastwork of felled trees on the exposed sides. On July 29th, the army pushed forward, following a well worn Indian path, to the headquarters of the Wabash River, and camped a short distance beyond Fort Recovery. Camp Stillwater is eighty-six miles from Fort Washington (Cincinnati, Ohio).
