Chief Little Turtle. In fact, Little Turtle's defeat over St. Clair is documented as the American's most devastating defeat by the American Indians. It is estimated that 600 American soldiers, and 300 American civilians lost their lives.
Little Turtle
The leader of the Native Americans was Chief little Turtle and the leader of the U.S. Forces was General Josiah Harmar.

General-in-Chief throughout that year was Henry Halleck. His three main armies were commanded by: Joe Hooker, who was defeated at Chancellorsville, and replaced by George Meade who defeated Lee at Gettysburg. William Rosecrans, who was defeated at Chickamauga, and replaced by George Thomas. Ulysses Grant, who liberated the Mississippi, went to help George Thomas at Chattanooga, and would be promoted General-in-Chief, early in 1864.
In 1791, Little Turtle, a chief of the Miami tribe, led Native American forces that defeated American troops in the Northwest Indian War. His forces achieved a significant victory against an army led by General Josiah Harmar near present-day Fort Wayne, Indiana. This defeat highlighted the growing resistance of Native American tribes against U.S. expansion into their territories. Little Turtle's success at this battle was a key moment in the conflict over land in the Northwest Territory.
The Sheriff
In his capacity as General-in-Chief of the Confederacy, he surrendered to U.S. Grant as General-in-Chief of the Union. Some say that in his capacity as commander of the Army of Northern Virginia, he should have surrendered to the army that defeated him, the Army of the Potomac, under General George Meade.
Fort St. Clair is located just to the west of Eaton, Ohio, USA, on State Route 122 in Preble County. Seven Kentucky militiamen were killed in a raid on the suppy train for General Wayne's Legion by Miami Indians under Chief Little Turtle in 1794.
Tecumseh
General Meade (New respondent...) That was the common perception, as Grant travelled alongside Meade's army in a mobile HQ. But the facts are that Grant suceeded Henry Halleck as General-in-Chief, and Meade continued as commander of the Army of the Potomac. Some say that it was Meade, not Grant, who should have taken Lee's surrender at Appomattox, since it was his army that had defeated Lee's. But Lee was also General-in-Chief, and Grant decided that one General-in-Chief should surrender to his opposite number.
