Summary "Anthony Wayne, 1745-1796" by Randolph C. Downes et al. is a biographical account that offers an in-depth look into the life of General Anthony Wayne, an important figure in the American Revolution and the early military history of the United States. This work is likely prepared in the mid-20th century, specifically in the 1950s, as part of a historical series published by the Public Library of Fort Wayne and Allen County. The book chronicles Wayne's military career and contributions to American history, particularly his leadership in the Revolutionary War and his campaign against Native American tribes in the Northwest Territory. The biography details Wayne's journey from his youth in Pennsylvania, where his early military interests flourished, to his pivotal role during the Revolutionary War. It highlights his strategic command and participation in significant battles, such as the surprise attack on Stony Point, confrontations at Brandywine and Monmouth, and his ultimate victory at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794. Additionally, it discusses his post-war life, when he faced challenges in civilian pursuits and political endeavors, underscoring his contributions beyond military accomplishments. Wayne's legacy as a military leader is encapsulated in this account, preserving his impact on both the founding of Fort Wayne and the broader context of American history.
