Logan's Raid

Logan's Raid

Logan's Raid was an expedition early in the Northwest Indian War. In the fall of 1786, Benjamin Logan led a force of Federal soldiers and mounted Kentucky militia against several Shawnee towns in the Ohio Country along the Mad River, protected primarily by noncombatants while the warriors were raiding settlements in Kentucky. Logan burned the Indian towns and food supplies, and killed or captured a considerable number of Indians, including the chief of the Mekoche division of the tribe, Moluntha, who was soon murdered by one of Logan's men, reportedly in retaliation for the Battle of Blue Licks in the American Revolutionary War. Logan's Raid and the death of their chief angered the Shawnees, who retaliated by further escalating their attacks on the whites, escalating the war.
