[edit]

I've proposed this article for deletion. The cited source is not reliable; more reliable sources describe Chillicothe as being abandoned when word of George Rogers Clark's movements was received. According to some sources (e.g. [1],[2], to pick two sources out of Google Books), he destroyed Shawnee winter supplies and five villages, but met with no substantive resistance.

It might be that Clark's raid of November 1782 (please please pick a better title) should be written, but "Battle of Chillicothe" appears to be the wrong name. Magic♪piano 19:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, no battles took place at Chillicothe in 1782, and there's not much in this stub that is accurate about Clark's 1782 expedition. The "Battle of Chillicothe" actually refers to the 1779 engagement led by Col. John Bowman in which Shawnee Chief Blackfish received his mortal wound. I'll fix up the stub with the correct info. —Kevin Myers 21:02, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
