Description
Title
Arthur
St
.
Clair
1791
Orders
of
March
,
Battle
and
Encampment
Subject
American Indians in Ohio
Military Ohio
Place
Fort Washington (Ohio)
Hamilton County (Ohio)
Description
Arthur
St
.
Clair
issued
this
elaborate
set
of
orders
dictating
the
modes
of
marching
,
forming
order
of
battle
, and
even
encamping
his
troops
, in
order
to
guard
against
surprise
attacks
while
marching
his
largely
inexperienced
force
through
the
wilderness
. At the
same
time
, to
clarify
such
tactical
formations
, he had an
officer
on his
staff
draw
up
a
set
of
plans
to
accompany
his
published
orders
.
However
,
despite
such
careful
delineations
as
seen
here
(which
relied
heavily
on
strategic
placement
of
regular
troops
,
artillery
and
horses
for
mutual
support)
,
it
failed
to
adequately
take
into
account
the
raw
recruits
and
militia
of
which
his
army
was
largely
composed
, not to
mention
factors
such
as
terrain
and the
skill
of an
enemy
well-versed
in
modes
of
irregular
warfare
.
Probably
executed
by
either
Adjutant
General
Winthrop
Sargent
or
Adjutant
Ebenezar
Denny
(both
with
known
skills
in
military
drawing
in
cartography)
, this
original
manuscript
of
survived
the
debacle
known
as the
battle
of
Wabash
or "
St
.
Clair's
Defeat
"
fought
on
November
4
,
1791
.
It
would
subsequently
be
used
as
part
of the
ill-fated
general's
defense
during
the
court
martial
convened
following
his
defeat
by
Miami
and
Shawnee
warriors
under
Little
Turtle
and
Blue
Jacket
.
