Battle of Fallen Timbers Monument - Maumee, OH - Smithsonian Art Inventory Sculptures on Waymarking.com

The Battle of Fallen Timbers, August 20, 1794, has been called the “last battle of the American Revolution” and one of the three most important battles in the development of our nation. The decisive victory by the Legion of the United States over a confederacy of Indian tribes opened the Northwest Territory, a five-state region unceded by the native inhabitants, for westward expansion and led to Ohio’s statehood in 1803.

The battle took place amid trees toppled by a tornado just north of the Maumee River in the present-day city of Maumee.

Fallen Timber Battlefield Memorial Park is managed locally by the Metropolitan Park District of the Toledo area.

The bronze statue was created by Bruce Saville in 1929. The SIRIS description is:Standing atop a four-sided base are three figures: General Anthony Wayne (center), a native American (proper right), and a frontiersman (proper left). Wayne is dressed in military uniform and holds a sword in his proper left hand. The Indian stands slightly behind, wears a loincloth and feathers, and cradles a peace pipe in his bent proper right arm. The frontiersman is dressed in a hide jacket, hat, and trousers, and with his proper right hand holds the barrel of his musket (its butt almost touches the ground). The figures do not interact; each gazes forward in a slightly different direction.
