Abstract
ALS from Capt. John Pomroy of Clarks Station, Crooked Creek, PA to Gen. Anthony Wayne, commander of the U.S. Army's Western
Dept., penned during the height of the last frontier war in the Upper Ohio Valley. Capt. Pomroy reports upon the recent activities
of his command and requests further instructions asking specifically whether or not a militia should be drafted for a future
campaign. Pomroy estimates that he could raise "between two and three hundred men for a volunteer expedition...if peace is
not concluded with the Indians."
