Report amending bill for erection of memorial monument at Fort Recovery. 

 1908. 4 pages. (60th Cong. 1st sess., H. Rept. 1520.) Paper, 5c. 



Fort Recovery, on the eastern bank of the Wabash in Ohio, was the scene of a 

 defeat under General St. Clair in 1791, and of a victory under General Wayne in 

 "1793, both battles being against a combination of the western Indian tribes. 

 General Wayne built and named the fort, and in 1794 it was successfully defended 

 from a formidable Indian attack. There was great loss of life in all these battles, 

 and a thousand soldiers are buried on the field. Sept. 10, 1851 (the 38th anni- 

 versary of the battle of Lake Erie), their bones were gathered and reburied by a 

 citizens' organization. In this report is incorporated a graphic description of St. 

 Clair's defeat, taken from " The Winning of the West," the well-known historical 

 work by Theodore Roosevelt.
