Excerpt from From Greene Ville to Fallen Timbers: A Journal of the Wayne Campaign; July 28-September 14, 1794
The strength of the legion was considerably augmented by the arrival at Greene Ville of the Kentucky Volunteers under Major Gen. Charles Scott. Shortly thereafter, on July 28, 1794, the combined forces under Wayne headed northward. Marches averaged between ten and a dozen miles a day over a varied terrain of woods, prairies, thickets, and swamps. The movement of the army was a difficult process, and was further complicated by the necessity of surveying and blazing its own way over relatively uncharted stretches of frontier wilderness.
