Wilkinson's Expedition. 525 Kentuckians burned Olde Towne: after a skirmish in Bloody Hollow and an Aug. 8. 1791 battle here had killed ten Indians and two soldiers, including John Bartlett; and wounded John Stafford. 34 of the Indians captured were later exchanged for American women and children. This band quit raiding Kentucky!

James Wilkinson (1757-1825). A controversial figure, but we honor him for the good he did, his finer services during peace and on the battlefields of three terrible wars. Became head, all armies of the United States! Honorable Discharge June 15, 1815.

Erected 1966 by L'Anguille (Long Eel) Valley Historical Association, Logansport.
