Stumbling to Disaster Battle of the Wabash

"Stumbling to Disaster: Battle of the Wabash" chronicles the devastating defeat of American forces by Native American tribes in 1791. The battle, also known as St. Clair's Defeat, highlights the ill-preparedness and mismanagement of the U.S. military under General Arthur St. Clair. Facing a coalition led by Chief Little Turtle, the Americans suffered one of their worst defeats in history, with nearly a thousand soldiers killed or wounded. This disaster underscored the strategic and logistical challenges in early American frontier warfare.
