"A service flag honors the grave of Nahum Parkhurst, Sr. in Chautauqua Co., N.Y. There is no record of his military service except the quotation on his gravestone "With Wayne in battle, side by side, unharmed our hero fought." Since he was too young to participate in the Revolutionary War, it is assumed that he participated in post-Revolutionary campaigns under Major General Anthony Wayne in the Battle of Fallen Timbers (near present Toledo, OH) in 1794." Parkhurst Genealogy, by Glen Smith 1981.
The Battle of Fallen Timbers (August 20, 1794) was the final battle of the Northwest Indian War, a struggle between American Indians and the United States for control of the Northwest Territory (an area bounded on the south by the Ohio River, on the west by the Mississippi River, and on the northeast by the Great Lakes). The battle, which was a decisive victory for the United States, ended major hostilities in the region until "Tecumseh's War" and the Battle of Tippecanoe in 1811.
The Battle of Fallen Timbers did not solve all of America's problems, but it did guarantee the young nation's survival. It further established the power and authority of the new constitutional government and thwarted the secessionist movements. Wayne's victory at Fallen Timbers made the United States of America a united, politically solvent nation. It furthermore created the conditions for economic solvency as well, and the US Treasury no longer sat empty.
Wayne and his troops established America's perseverance in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds and deserve a place of respect in our history.: https://frontierbattles.wordpress.com/2008/11/23/battle-of-fallen-timbers-confirms-american-independence-conclusion/
