Bayonets in the Wilderness: Anthony Wayne's Legion in the Old Northwest. By Alan D. Gaff. (Norman: University of Oklahoma Press, 2004. xx, 419 pp. $39.95, ISBN 0-8061-3585-9.)
According to the former superintendent of the United States Military Academy at West Point, Lt. Gen. Dave Palmer (Ret.), the battle of Fallen Timbers, fought in 1794 along the Maumee River near present-day Toledo, Ohio, was one of the most significant victories in American history, ranking with those at Saratoga, Gettysburg, and Midway in its long-term consequence for the nation's subsequent history.	1
Anthony Wayne's success at Fallen Timbers in 1794 and the Treaty of Greeneville, signed the following year, allowed for the rapid, generally peaceful settlement of the Old Northwest and the eventual admittance of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, and Wisconsin into the federal union. Moreover, the United States also acquired the natural resources, including iron ore, bauxite, copper, and timber, and the transportation capabilities that would allow it to emerge as the world's leading industrial power in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries and that, to a considerable degree, allow the nation to retain that position to the present day.	. . .
