As peace negotiations continued without success, General Wayne's slow and strenuous march through Ohio moved massive amounts of supplies, horses and artillery to support his 2,000 soldiers.

Along the way, Wayne's army built supply depots and forts and engaged a significant skirmish with the Western Confederacy at Fort Recovery. He eventually reached Roche de Bout where he built Camp Deposit on the Maumee River.

Scouts & Kentucky Militia

Wayne's regularly trained troops were supplemented by a group of scouts led by William Wells. Wells had previously fought alongside the Western Confederacy, so his knowledge of native tactics uniquely qualified him to lead scouting missions and advise General Wayne. The troops were also supplemented by mounted members of the Kentucky Militia.

The British were keenly interested in Wayne's movements. To hinder his progress they built Fort Miamis in modern day Maumee. This fort would later play a role in both the Battle of Fallen Timbers and the War of 1812.
