Battle of Pickawey

A Plan 9 Video
In 1780 the largest battle of the American Revolution west of the Alleghenies was fought in SW Ohio just outside of what is now Springfield. The battlefield is now George Rogers Clark Park, named after the revolutionary general who commanded the colonists in the battle.
In 1980 re-enactors re-enacted the battle. With a play by play announcer.....
Revolutionary soldiers & conscripts marched up from the Kentucky settlement area & crossed the Ohio river near the Licking river to do battle 90 miles north with British allies, the Shawnee. I think it is safe to assume that marching through SW Ohio woods in August was probably no more pleasant 230 years ago than it would be today. Picking a fight at the end of the trail would have just been the icing on the cake. Hats off to the revolutionary war soldiers.
And a hats off to Jeff Hansell of Plan 9 TV & Film.
