Note 96 — Evans’s Pedestrious Tour of Four Thousand Miles—1818 (continued 2)

After the battle of Fallen Timbers, General Wayne (September, 1794) proceeded to destroy the Miami villages at the junction of the St. Mary and St. Josephs rivers, and there built Fort Wayne. It had long been a centre of Indian trade, and the French had maintained a post there through the first half of the eighteenth century. See Croghan’s Journals, volume i of our series, note 87.—Ed.
