The provisions and ammunition were sent round in keel-boats to Vincennes, to which place General Clarke marched his men by the nearest route. This expedition ac- complished nothing, beyond the good effect produced by the appearance of a respectable force in the Indian country. The next important expedition into the Indian 16* 182 harmar's expedition* country, was that of Scott and Harmar, in 1790.. General Scott, with two hundred and thirty volun- teers, crossed the Ohio at Limestone, and was j...oined by General Harmar, with one hundred regulars of the United States army. They penetrated into the Indian country and destroyed several towns, but were unable to bring the Indians to battle. The well known expedition of General Harmar, occurred in the autumn of the same year. He led iwto the Indian country, three hundred and twenty federal troops, and eleven hundred and thirty-three Kentucky volunteers, commanded by Colonel John Hardin, an intelligent and gallant officer. They penetrated into the Miami country, and laid waste the corn-fields of the Indians, and having accomplish- ed the sole object of the expedition, were about to return, when some Indians appeared in the vicinity of the ' camp.
