No mention of Fort Wayne in NE Indiana. The General built a fort in 1794 on the meeting of three rivers; St Mary's, St Joseph, and Maumee. Future President, Wm H Harrison, led troops to Fort Wayne in 1813 when besieged by hostile Indians. Johnny Appleseed is buried in the city of Fort Wayne. City is currently the second largest in Indian.
