On October 15, the vanguard of the U.S.
forces reached Kekionga and found that the
Miami had burned and abandoned their town.
Learning that the Miami warriors had
returned to Kekionga, General Harmar sent an
attacking force back to the Indian town on
the morning of October 22. Two companies of
U.S. forces, under the command of Colonel
John Hardin, took position along the west
bank of the St. Joseph river. Three
companies, under the overall command of
regular army major John Wyllys, advanced
across the ford of the Maumee River, hoping
to entrap the Indians in Kekionga itself.
The Miami warriors challenged the crossing,
killing several men as they waded the
ankle-deep Maumee River. In the corn fields
and flood plain outside Kekionga, the main
United States forces were destroyed and
Major Wyllys and the cavalry commander,
Major Fontaine, were killed by Little
Turtle’s warriors who held the high ground
to the north. By the end of the battle at
midday, 183 United States soldiers had been
killed, and about the same number of Indians
had been slain. The Miami Confederacy had
held its town, and General Harmar’s main
force retreated to Fort Washington.
