120 The Winning of the West 



savages at the councils, selling them quantities of 

 liquor. 



In November the Wyandots from Sandusky sent 

 ambassadors to Wayne at Greeneville. Wayne 

 spoke to them with his usual force and frankness. 

 He told them he pitied them for their folly in listen- 

 ing to the British, who were very glad to urge them 

 to fight and to give them ammunition, but who had 

 neither the power nor the inclination to help them 

 when the time of trial came; that hitherto the In- 

 dians had felt only the weight of his little finger, 

 but that he would surely destroy all the tribes in the 

 near future if they did not make peace. 53 



The Hurons went away much surprised, and re- 

 solved on peace; and the other tribes followed their 

 example. In January, 1795, the Miamis, Chippe- 

 was, Sacs, Delawares, Pottawatomies, and Ottawas 

 sent ambassadors to Greeneville and agreed to 

 treat. 54 The Shawnees were bent on continuing the 

 war; but when their allies deserted them they too 

 sent to Greeneville and asked to be included in the 

 peace. 55 On February nth the Shawnees, Dela- 

 wares, and Miamis formally entered into a prelimi- 

 nary treaty. 



This was followed in the summer of 1795 by the 

 formal Treaty of Greeneville, at which Wayne, on 

 behalf of the United States, made a definite peace
