The Story of Joe Rogers George Rogers Clark’s captured cousin
They retreated through the back of the fort and escaped through the bluffs.
But the cannon fire proved too deadly for the Indian forces
Peckuwe and all of it’s buildings and crops were burned to the ground.
Clark and his men returned to Kentucky, leaving the Indian towns burned to the ground. But the Indians who had fled would not leave the Kentucky settlements in peace. They would return to Kentucky again and again. Martin’s and Ruddles’s Stations were the attacks that led to the Battle of Peckuwe. Indian Forces attacked Colonel Archibald Lochry’s men on the Ohio in August of 1781. They attacked the Painted Stone Settlers at Long Run in September of 1781. They attacked settlers at Bryan’s Station in 1782 and settlers followed the Indians and met in The Battle at Blue Licks in August of 1782. Two short weeks later settlers along the Salt River at Kinchloe’s Station were attacked. Indian attacks in Kentucky and Ohio continued until after their final defeat in the battle of Fallen Timbers in 1794.
