5] Fishing Creek enters the Ohio 128 miles below
Pittsburgh. At its mouth is now the town of New Martinsville,
W. Va.--R. G. T.

[6] This was an expedition made by Gen. James Wilkinson,
second in command under Wayne, in December, 1793. He marched to
the field from Fort Washington at the head of a thousand men,
and left a garrison at the new fort.--R. G. T.

[7] McWhorter says that the capture of the Cozad boys took
place at the mouth of Lanson Run, near Berlin, W. Va. The boy
who was killed was but six years of age; crying for his mother,
an Indian grasped him by the heels and cracked his head against
a tree,--a favorite method of murdering white children, among
Indian war parties. "Jacob yelled once, after starting with the
Indians, but was knocked down by a gun in the hands of one of
the savages. When he came to his senses, a squaw was dragging
him up hill by one foot. He remained with the Indians for about
two years, being adopted into a chief's family. He died in
1862, in his eighty-ninth year."--R. G. T.

[8] Thirtieth of June.--R. G. T.

[9] The white loss, in killed, was 22, including Major
McMahon.--R. G. T.

[10] The force started August 8. Besides the regulars, were
about 1,100 mounted Kentucky militia, under Gen. Charles
Scott.--R. G. T.

[11] Hence the popular name of the engagement, "Battle of
Fallen Timbers."--R. G. T.

[12] Alexander McKee, the renegade, of whom mention has
frequently been made in foregoing pages.--R. G. T.

[13] Later authorities place the white loss at 107, killed
and wounded.--R. G. T.
