> Anyone who has studied Fallen Timbers will tell you, there is some conflicting information out there, especially when it comes to the Indian forces. I have tried to take the "best guess" for the Indian Confederation. I have taken an average of the strengths reported by the various sources to come up with an order of battle that is as accurate as I can determine. Eckert's totals show Indian strength a few days before the battle, he later estimates that only 65% of this force is in Fallen Timbers, the rest having fallen back to Fort Miamis to find something to eat. The Shawnee POW was captured before the battle, before the arrival of the Chippawas. LaSalle was a member of the Canadian Militia.
