At Fallen Timbers on the morning of August 20, 1794, the Legion of the United States found its enemy by accident. Wayne's force of about three thousand Legionnaires plus a thousand mounted Kentucky volunteers was advancing through dense timber along the Maumee River when the lead elements ran into the Confederacy's prepared positions — the trees that gave the battle its name had been blown down by a recent storm, creating a natural breastwork that the Native warriors had occupied. The Legion went forward at the run. Wayne ordered an immediate charge with the bayonet, dragoons to flank the position, and the riflemen to drive the warriors out of the tangled timber. The action lasted barely forty minutes; the Confederacy broke and ran. Within a year, the Treaty of Greenville had opened the Ohio Country to American settlement. This figure depicts a Legion infantryman in the moment of the charge — running forward with musket carried for close work, shouting as he advances.

This figure shows a Legion infantryman in mid-charge — body angled forward, musket carried horizontally for close work, mouth open in a shout. He wears the standard Legion uniform: blue coat with red facings, cuffs and lapels, red waistcoat, white breeches, white cross-belts with cartridge box, the modified cocked hat with white binding and black hair roach of the 1st Sub-Legion. The pose captures the moment of the bayonet charge — the action Wayne ordered at Fallen Timbers, when discipline gave way to speed and the line ran rather than walked into contact. He pairs with General "Mad" Anthony Wayne Mounted, the Legion infantryman advancing and loading, and the Legion infantry officer advancing — together composing a Sub-Legion in the bayonet charge.
