Who is Anthony Wayne?

When Jake's parents were here visiting in Toledo, his dad kept asking us if we knew who Anthony Wayne was. The Anthony Wayne Trail is a nice express way a few blocks from our house that we use almost everyday. I never really knew who Anthony Wayne was until we visited the Fallen Timbers Monument here in Toledo. Apparently the Fallen Timbers Monument metro park is a very significant battle ground in the history of the Revolutionary war. It took place back in 1794 and is called the "last battle of the American Revolution". "Mad" Anthony Wayne, as they call him, was the general in command of the legion. The battle took place among the trees just north of the Maumee river. Here is the link for those historians who would love to read more http://www.fallentimbersbattlefield.com/. It was a fun family outing! There were some really pretty trails and Jake had fun taking pictures of all the wildlife. It is still so weird to me how many deer there are in the middle of Ohio's metro parks! I guess living in Utah you are used to the deer being in the mountains.
We especially had fun going on this bridge that runs across the Anthony Wayne Trail. The evening ended with a beautiful sunset behind the newly constructed Fallen Timbers Mall. The sunset luckily is brighter than the glowing letters of the Dillards store sign.
