Anthony Wayne, byname Mad Anthony Wayne (born Jan. 1, 1745, near Paoli, Pa. [U.S.]âdied Dec. 15, 1796, Presque Isle, Pa., U.S.), prominent American general during the Revolutionary War, who later destroyed the Northwest Indian Confederation at the Battle of Fallen Timbers in Ohio (Aug. 20, 1794).
This feat gave a huge boost in morale to the American armies. Wayne earned the name âMad Anthonyâ because of his tactical boldness and his personal courage in the field.
