Fort Wayne, Indiana did not exist until 1794. A battle during the Harmar Campaign took place in October 1790 near the Native American village of Kekionga, which in turn was near the site of Fort Wayne when it was built. The battle occurred on October 22, not October 18. The commander of the American force was Colonel John Hardin, a Kentucky militia officer. This force included fewer than half of General Josiah Harmar's army and only a few regular army soldiers. Harmar's first name was Josiah, not Joseph, which is why the name is red linked in the article. Harmar was the overall commander of the expedition, which originally had about 1,400 soldiers, mostly militiamen. Harmar refused to come to Hardin's aid when told of the size of the Indian force which attacked Hardin's detachment on October 22. In the absence of any verification for this stub, it probably should be deleted with perhaps one or two redirects to the Harmar Campaign added. It certainly would need to revised, with some sources (perhaps from the Harmar Campaign article), and possible re-titled. Most if not all of this information can be verified from the articles linked in this paragraph. Donner60 ( talk) 07:34, 24 January 2016 (UTC) reply
