A Precise Journal of General Wayne's Last Campaign.

Printed by John Gruber in Hagerstown, Md., in 1795, and known only by the single copy at the American Antiquarian Society, this journal covers 28 June to 2 November 1794. It is especially valuable for march routine, soldiers' activities, the Battle of Fallen Timbers, and evidences of white-Indian contacts and British activity in the Northwest Territory. The editor concludes that: 1) author "RANDOLPH" was not an officer, and was not interested in strategy and tactics, and 2) the journal was extensively edited after the campaign. Other journals of the campaign are listed.
