Description
Detail
of
William
Wells
, from "The
Signing
of the
Treaty
of
Greene
Ville
"
painting
by
Howard
Chandler
Christy
(1945)
.
Wells
was
one
of the
best-known
frontiersmen
in the
Ohio
Country
in the
years
after
the
American
Revolution
.
Born
in
about
1770
, he was
captured
by
Miami
Indians
at the
age
of
twelve
, and a
Miami
leader
named
Little
Turtle
raised
him as his
own
son
.
Wells
also
married
Little
Turtle's
daughter
,
Sweet
Breeze
.
During
the
late
1780s
and the
early
1790s
,
Wells
assisted
Little
Turtle
in
stopping
white
settlers
from
encroaching
upon
Indian
land
. He
fought
with the
Indians
of the
Northwest
Territory
against
the
army
of
General
Arthur
St
.
Clair
in
1791
. By
1794
,
Wells
had a
change
of
heart
.
Some
people
believe
that he
could
no
longer
stand
the
bloodshed
in the
Northwest
Territory
in the
late
1780s
and the
early
1790s
. In any
case
,
Wells
joined
the
army
of
General
Anthony
Wayne
in
1794
.
Wayne
hoped
to
secure
the
southwestern
portion
of
modern-day
Ohio
from the
natives
.
Wells
served
as a
scout
and
interpreter
for
Wayne
. He
eventually
attained
the
rank
of
captain
and was
present
at the
negotiating
and
signing
of the
Treaty
of
Greeneville
in
1795
.
Under
this
treaty
, the
Indians
had to
give
up
all
of their
lands
in what
is
now
present-day
Ohio
except
for the
northwestern
corner
of the
state
.
