OK, St Clair's defeat at the Wabash in 1791, which resulted in the loss of 800-900 American soldiers & camp followers to Little Turtle's Indian warriors, was the most catastrophic defeat ever inflicted by hostile Indians against US forces- far greater than the 220-odd men of the 7th Cav who perished with Custer at the LBH in 1876. Now, where & when could an alternative have occurred for an even greater defeat & loss of life among American forces, have occurred, during the course of the Indian Wars, at any time before 1890 ?
