I've proposed this article for deletion. The cited source is not reliable; more reliable sources describe Chillicothe as being abandoned when word of George Rogers Clark's movements was received. According to some sources (e.g. [1],[2], to pick two sources out of Google Books), he destroyed Shawnee winter supplies and five villages, but met with no substantive resistance.
Yeah, no battles took place at Chillicothe in 1782, and there's not much in this stub that is accurate about Clark's 1782 expedition. The "Battle of Chillicothe" actually refers to the 1779 engagement led by Col. John Bowman in which Shawnee Chief Blackfish received his mortal wound. I'll fix up the stub with the correct info. —KevinMyers21:02, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply
