[Footnote: Draper MSS., William Clark to Jonathan Clark, May 25, 1794] In May he was sent from Fort Washington with twenty dragoons and sixty infantry to escort 700 packhorses to Greeneville.

When eighteen miles from Fort Washington Indians attacked his van, driving off a few packhorses; but Clark brought up his men from the rear and after a smart skirmish put the savages to flight.

They left behind one of their number dead, two wounded, and seven rifles; Clark lost two men killed and two wounded.

As an instance of the utter untrustworthiness of these Indian or British accounts of the American losses, it may be mentioned that Duggan says the Indians brought off forty scalps, and killed an unknown number of Americans in addition; whereas in reality only two were slain.

Even Duggan admits that the Indians were beaten off.] A Large War Party Attacks Fort Recovery.
On the last day of June a determined assault was made by the Indians on Fort Recovery, which was garrisoned by about two hundred men.
