The Battle of Wabash, often called Harmer's Defeat was the most overwhelming slaughter ever achieved by American Indians against the US Army. General Harmer gathered together 1,460 regulars and militia with the goal of attacking the Miami tribe at what is now Fort Wayne, Indiana. The Miami got word of the attack, and fled carrying as many supplies as possible. General Harmer sent out scouts who ran across an Indian on horseback. The Indian, who was a decoy, fled down a small path. Harmer summoned his men, and were led to a marshy area where they could neither pursue or retreat easily. The 100 Miami slaughtered most of the militia.

St Clair's defeat, also known as the Battle of the Wabash, or the Battle of One Thousand Slain, on November 4, 1791, by the northwest confederation of tribes, near the Indiana-Ohio border. General Arthur St Clair led a force around 1,000 into battle, only 48 of whom escaped unharmed.

It might have been the battle of the Wabash river where almost 1000 troops were decimated.

Are there any celebrities actively involved against Mexican Horse Slaughter?

I'm not sure. But just for the record, I love your question! If I were a celebrity, I would be, too. My favorite part of the question is how you said "Mexican" instead of just horse slaughter. I am against Mexican horse slaughter, but I support humane slaughter in the US. So I call myself a slaughter-supporter, because I support horse slaughter here in the US. Sorry if this didn't help. Thanks, Jaybrianna.
