Antoine Gamelin, Vincennes merchant


Fort at Fort Wayne, Indiana

"...of pacification to all of the Indian towns along the Wabash and at the head of the Maumee.  We have Gamelin's record of his expedition...'The 23d [of April, 1790] I arrived at the Miami Town [Fort Wayne].'"

"On the 25th, Blue Jacket, chief of the Shawnees and Delawares, at a private conference, declared to Gamelin that the tribes could not give an answer 'without hearing from our father [the British commandant] at Detroit.'"
