  Are you forgetting Arthur St. Clair/St. Clair's Defeat, Chief Little Turtle, Blue Jacket, Tecumseh, Mad Anthony Wayne? Granted, these guys weren't actually "from" Ft. Recovery, they're just the reason it exists. Yikes! Ft Recovery was one of the most important sites of early Ohio history and the opening up of the Northwest Territories!
