Booklet Reveals Costumes
of Having Unframed Army

Men fought at Lexington until the
Battle OF Fallen Timbers resulted
in Great Britain, In 1896, giving up
posts along the frontier which she
had held Illegally since 1883.
The book describes how the Con
tinental Army after three years
of war, finally became a trained and
disciplined unit during the bitter
winter OF l177-7S at Valley Forge.
Despite this reliance was placed
on state militia during the post
war period. Even after the United
States Army, as We know II today,
came into existence in 1889 with
the adoption OF the Constitution,
raw militia formed the bulk Of the
lighting forces.
II took massacre to change this
policy. the book shows. Early on
the morning of November 4. 1891, n
what is now Mercer County, Ohio,
the Miami Indians surprised Major
General Arthur St Glars army,
killing 632 and wOunding 2G4 out Of
the 400 efectiyes-the worst de-
ielC ever suffered by United States
troops.
-. recognized and revamped
army developed from this disas-
trous battle. President Washing
ton picked able Anthony Wayne as
commanding general and insisted
on the army being trained for two
years before a Counter-blOw was
attempted. Waynes army routed
the Indians in the Battle of Fallen
Timbers on August 20, 1894, and
this victory prepared the way for
diplomatic negotiations with Great
Britain for the surrender OF the
northwestern posts.
Col. William \. Canoe, chairman
of the Department OF Military Sci
ence and Tactics at the University
of Michigan, has written a foreword
