es. He was placed in command.

There were four Sub-legions, or corps, each composed of artillery,
dragoons, infantry and riflemen. The enlisted men wore round caps like
helmets.

The badge of the First Sub-legion was white binding, with short plumes
of white wool and black horse-hair.

The badge of the Second Sub-legion was red binding, with short plumes
of red wool and white horse-hair.

The badge of the Third Sub-legion was yellow binding, with yellow wool
and black horse-hair.

The badge of the Fourth Sub-legion was green binding, with green wool
and white horse-hair.

"Another defeat will be ruinous to the reputation of the United
States," had said President Washington. With this in mind, General
Wayne declared for drilling his troops hard, at Legionville, below
Pittsburg. Infantry, artillery and cavalry were kept busy at target
practice, broad-sword practice, and battle formations.

In the spring of 1793 he moved down to Fort Washington at Cincinnati.
On August 8, he marched north, with two thousand troops the equal of

Meanwhile there had been fighting, but the warriors of Little Turtle
