041 The New Republic: Anthony Wayne and the American Legion

George Washington needed good news. After the failure of the
Harmar and St. Clair expeditions, Anthony Wayne was convinced to
return to the Army. A veteran of the American Revolution, for two
years Wayne recruited and drilled a unique formation - the
American Legion. Inspired by the Roman Legions of old, this
combined arms unit was seen as the Washington administration's
best hope for success. This episode introduces Wayne's labors in
building a force that could secure the Northwest Frontier for the
new Republic.
