CASUALTIES OF BATTLE OF FALLEN
TIMBERS
In order to determine as far as
possible the casualties
at the Battle of Fallen Timbers, in
January, 1931, Mr.
W. B. Davis, of Washington, D. C., was
employed to
consult the records of the War
Department. This he
did. In his letter of transmittal, he
says, among other
things:
I find a great many records covering the
period of August
20, 1794,
are missing. When the British burned the White House,
many of the records were stored there
and were destroyed. Con-
sequently, the war records prior to that
date are very incomplete,
and what are on file are in a very
dilapidated condition owing to
their age and binding. * * *
You will note I have given you all the casualties
which oc-
curred on and after August 20, 1794, which appear on the rolls
covering that period, so your guess will
be as good as mine as to
whether or not some of these casualties
were due to the battle on
August 20, 1794.
Following is the result of the
examination of the
records by Mr. Davis:
Data from the records of 1st Sublegion,
2nd Sublegion, 3rd
Sublegion, 4th Sublegion, Corps of
Artificers and Engineers, and
a Detachment of Light Dragoons
(Cavalry), covering the date of
the Battle of Fallen Timbers, August 20, 1794.
