In one of the charges he cut down an Indian chief; and the dying man, as he fell, killed Wayne's horse with a pistol shot.
Wayne Reorganizes the Army As soon as Wayne reached the Ohio, in June, 1792, he set about reorganizing the army.

He had as a nucleus the remnant of St.Clair's beaten forces; and to this were speedily added hundreds of recruits enlisted under new legislation by Congress, and shipped to him as fast as the recruiting officers could send them.

The men were of precisely the same general character as those who had failed so dismally under St.
Clair, and it was even more difficult to turn them into good soldiers, for the repeated disasters, crowned by the final crushing horror, had unnerved them and made them feel that their task was hopeless, and that they were foredoomed to defeat.
