     WAYNE'S CAMPAIGN - The sixty years' war with the Ohio Indians was now drawing to a close.  Congress had been awakened to a sense of the situation by the defeats of Harmar and St. Clair.  General Anthony Wayne was sent across the mountains with an army like himself.  His mission was to subdue the Indians and extend the domain of the United States to the boundaries defined by the treaty with England.  He took ever step with care, fortified posts of advantage, advanced further and further into the Indian country, and on the morning of August 20, 1794, he found the Indian army and forced the fighting.  By nightfall the victory of Fallen Timbers had been won, and ten power of the Ohio Indians broken forever.  Peace was secured and the border warfare was virtually over.
